Lignano Sabbiadoro Sand Nativity

Your unmissable winter event by the sea in Lignano Sabbiadoro is the Sand Nativity, organized by the Dome Aghe Savalon d’Aur Association in collaboration with the Municipality of Lignano Sabbiadoro and local associations.

In 2025, the Sand Nativity of Lignano Sabbiadoro is ready to amaze once again with its 22nd edition, themed “Mary, in the Name of Women. A Female Journey through the Gospels and Our Time.”
This year’s work presents itself as a collective creation of great breadth, blending tradition and modernity through a narrative path whose protagonist is Mary, a figure who transcends centuries and comes to life through the eyes of both the artists and the public.

Created by artists from various European countries, the installation intertwines different artistic languages and sensibilities, offering visitors an experience that unites art, spirituality, and thoughtful reflection.
