Christmas with the family

Wonder for young and old alike

In Strasbourg, the magic of Christmas is experienced with family, hands full of Bredle dough and eyes gazing at the stars. Between tradition and discovery, Strasbourg Capital of Christmas invites both young and old to share moments of wonder in the heart of a festive and welcoming atmosphere.
The Advent Village is one of the highlights of the season: a place entirely dedicated to children and their families, where creativity, imagination, and sharing are celebrated. The program includes fun and creative workshops, enchanted story readings, concerts, and even the chance to build mini chalets. A true escape, this village offers a space where everyone can dream, create, and be amazed.

Throughout the season, Strasbourg also offers a wide range of family-friendly activities: storytelling walks, enchanted boat cruises, youth performances, and museum visits and animations. These are countless opportunities to discover the city in a new light, with a spirit of conviviality and sharing.
In the illuminated streets, children marvel at the Grand Christmas Tree, the carousels, and decorated chalets, stop to listen to a tune, taste a treat, or admire the animated shop windows that make the whole city sparkle.

In Strasbourg, Christmas is lived together, in the warmth of a shared moment, between laughter, traditions, and discoveries. A Christmas to enjoy with the family, simply.

  • At the Advent Village, the magic of Christmas is shared with the whole family through a warm and welcoming program open to everyone. Young and old alike can take part in fun and creative workshops, admire the decorations, and enjoy free mini-shows in a festive atmosphere.
