Arras Christmas Village 2026: a month of festive magic at the foot of the belfry

📅 Friday 27 November to Sunday 27 December 2026
📍 Arras city centre, Grand’Place and Place des Héros, 62000 Arras

Arras becomes a true Christmas village for almost a month. Wooden chalets, lights, a giant Christmas tree, an ice rink and carousels take over the Grand’Place and Place des Héros, framed by listed Baroque facades.

Opening hours: Sunday to Thursday 12 pm–9 pm; Friday and Saturday 12 pm–10.30 pm. Entry to the market is free. The ice rink and some attractions charge a fee.

The exceptional setting of Arras’s squares, with the belfry and town hall as a backdrop, makes this one of the most photogenic Christmas markets in northern France.
