Program of the Advent Village

Throughout the entire duration of Strasbourg Capital of Christmas, Squares Louise Weiss and Suzanne Lacore transform into a magical place: the Advent Village sets up for a month of exchange and conviviality.

This year, once again, the Advent Village brings the Christmas spirit to life with a participative and friendly program consisting of shows and creative workshops, all in the heart of a magical place filled with fir trees, traditional chalets, and braziers.

In this space, the youngest ones are the kings and queens, as seen in the mini Christmas house construction site: with the help of an animator, young aspiring builders can construct chalets to their size, creating the playground of their dreams.

Around this miniature village, a multitude of shows and workshops animate the place: afternoons are filled with the voices of storytellers, fabulous stories played on stage, and various creative workshops.

On the long list of Village activities, a handful have been selected to give you a glimpse of this unique place.
