Program of the Advent Village
Published on 6 December 2024 Modified on 6 December 2024Throughout the duration of Strasbourg Capitale de Noël, the Square Louise Weiss transforms into an enchanting place: the Village of Advent sets up for a month of conviviality and sharing.
Once again this year, the Village of Advent brings the Christmas spirit to life with a participatory and friendly programme composed of performances, creative workshops, and storytelling, all set in the heart of a magical place filled with Christmas trees and traditional chalets.
Around this miniature village, a multitude of performances and workshops bring the location to life: the afternoons are marked by the voices of storytellers, the fabulous tales performed on stage, and a variety of creative workshops.
This year, reading and storytelling take centre stage. It will be possible to discover some specific traditions of German Christmas with contributions from Stuttgart on the 4th and 5th of December, and from Dresden on the 18th and 19th of December. The Village of Advent embraces the Anglo-Saxon spirit with the participation of local associations, including "Alsace – United States" on the 11th and 12th of December. A special reading corner will be set up to discover Christmas books, legends, and winter tales in French, German, and English.
Outside, a book cabin invites you to read, for every story shared with a child or family member creates unforgettable memories and forges deep connections for a better future.
