Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on January 5th to catch the Befana's morning visit to Piazza Kambo before the main event at Parco Matusa.
- Bring cash for the artisan markets, as not all vendors may accept card payments.
- Dress in layers, as January weather in Frosinone can be cool, especially in the late afternoon.
- Consider public transport or carpooling, as parking availability near Parco Matusa might be limited during the event.
- Check the weather forecast before you go; while the event is mostly outdoors, some activities might be affected by heavy rain.
