From 4 to 8 December 2026, the Cortina Fashion Weekend returns to open the winter season in the Queen of the Dolomites, transforming the town centre into an elegant showcase of fashion, lifestyle, sport and culture.
Now in its 16th edition, Cortina Fashion Weekend will enliven the resort during the Immaculate Conception holiday weekend, when the first days on the snow meet the magic of the festive season. Boutiques, businesses and venues throughout the centre will take part in a rich calendar of events, including presentations, talks, cocktail parties, live music and initiatives celebrating fashion and creativity.
Illuminated for Christmas and framed by the Dolomites, the streets of Cortina will become a meeting point between Italian style and Alpine identity. It is an opportunity to discover the latest trends, experience the atmosphere of Corso Italia and immerse yourself in the energy of one of the most eagerly awaited events of the winter season.
Organized by Cortina For Us in collaboration with the Municipality of Cortina d’Ampezzo, Cortina Fashion Weekend brings together local businesses, companies and leading names from across Italy in an event that celebrates the destination’s elegance and creativity.
The full programme for the 2026 edition will be published soon. For information and updates, visit the Cortina Fashion Weekend website.
