Christmas with the Family

During fun and creative workshops, visitors of all ages make their own Christmas decorations, ornaments, and holiday cards. As a family, budding builders take on the challenge of constructing a miniature wooden cabin using a blueprint, while lovers of beautiful decorations help spruce up the village by personalizing small wooden mobiles.

In the park’s lush green setting, there’s also room for imagination and music! Storytelling, performances, and concerts featuring seasonal melodies bring together local artists, guests from afar, and students from Strasbourg’s music schools in a joyful and intimate atmosphere.

During the school year, the Advent Village also welcomes children from Strasbourg schools for special moments featuring storytelling and creative workshops.
