Christmas spirit hovers over Occitanie! While Toulouse is no stranger to Christmas markets, neighboring Blagnac has one that’s well worth a visit. With its 75 adorable wooden chalets and a host of activities, this large Christmas market is one of the must-sees of the cold season. Toulouse Secret tells you more about the magical Blagnac Christmas Market, which awaits you from Wednesday, December 4, 2024.
An ephemeral Christmas market in Blagnac
It’s perhaps one of the Occitanie Christmas markets that attracts the most onlookers in search of last-minute gifts or a glass of mulled wine. Last year, 60,000 people strolled down the aisles lined with 75 wooden chalets. And this year’s Christmas market is set to be no exception. For 5 days, from December 4 to 8, 2024, many visitors are expected.
Set in the Parc des Ramiers, the Blagnac Christmas market invites you to dream and marvel, with its many illuminations and events. Another of the market’s distinctive features is that all the artists and craftspeople in the chalets are from the region. Some of these local designers are even from Blagnac. They’ll be selling fashion, decoration, gastronomy and tableware. A great program!
Christmas entertainment for young and old alike
Adults love the festive season, but youngsters are no strangers to the magic of Christmas. The Blagnac Christmas market offers a wide range of activities for children, to create wonderful memories for them. These include a brass band, a parade, donkey rides and, above all, Santa’s letterbox, where children can drop off their precious gift lists.
Santa Claus will also be present in the flesh every day of the Christmas market, and the most daring children will be able to meet him and have their photo taken with him. And what would Christmas be without music? Young and old will be treated to gospel concerts and choirs singing Christmas carols. Get out your diaries, this Christmas market will only last 5 days from December 4 to 8, 2024!
