European Christmas

Strasbourg, capital of human values

During this festive season, Strasbourg offers a rich program of concerts, performances, and cultural events celebrating the diversity of European traditions while conveying messages of peace and togetherness. Visitors can stroll through the decorated streets, discover artisanal products from across Europe, and attend events where languages, music, and customs intertwine in a spirit of harmony.

The city invites everyone to share, connect, and marvel—transforming this season into a meaningful and heartwarming experience, where the essence of Europe shines at the very heart of Strasbourg, the Capital of Christmas.
