Inclusive Christmas
Festivities for everyone
In Strasbourg, the magic of Christmas is meant to be open to everyone. Staying true to its values of hospitality, solidarity, and sharing, Strasbourg Capital of Christmas takes great care to ensure its festivities are inclusive and accessible, so that everyone can fully embrace the holiday spirit.
The City has implemented a comprehensive system to guarantee enhanced accessibility throughout the entire Christmas route: recommended paths and guided tours tailored for people with disabilities, rest areas, and parent-child zones designed for the comfort of all. These facilities aim to make the event a space for exchange and conviviality, free from barriers and exclusion.
Because diversity is a strength, Strasbourg also offers a program of inclusive activities: accessible performances, intergenerational participatory workshops, solidarity meetings, and musical moments fostering interaction between locals and visitors from around the world.
By opening itself to all sensitivities and generations, Strasbourg affirms that a shared Christmas is a bigger, more human, and more vibrant Christmas.

For the past ten years, the OFF Market, located on Grimmeissen Square, has invited you to experience Christmas in a different way: one that’s more responsible, community-minded, local, and human. Organizations in the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) offer socially conscious gifts, locally made creations, and upcycled products. But the OFF Market is also a place to meet, discover, connect, and work together.
