What would the holiday season be without a Christmas market? When the cold sets in, chalets, lights and churros warm the hearts of children young and old. In 2024, from November 28 to December 29, the Toulouse Christmas market will take over the Place du Capitole. We know that. But put on your mittens, and we’ll let you in on all the secrets of Toulouse’s not-to-be-missed Santa Claus village!
Let yourself be transported by the magic of Christmas
The Toulouse Christmas market is first and foremost a hundred or so snow-white chalets housing just as many exhibitors. Among the tree-lined aisles, marvel at the creations of artisans brought together especially for the occasion. On the decorating side, Totem Diffusion’s porcelain cookie lamps, Cocotte’s garlands, Escoffier santons and Ateliers and Co photophores are all on display. There’ll also be an array of jewelry (gold, amber, leather, engraving…), a bevy of Christmas ornaments and decorations, games and fashion items. In short, plenty of gift ideas!
The ice rink returns to the Toulouse Christmas market
It’s a well-known fact that we don’t put on weight in winter (yes, we do, I promise). So you can indulge in the many delicacies on offer at the Place du Capitole Christmas Market! Pretzels, Spaetzle, mulled wine, Panettone, gingerbread, churros, truffle-based products, sausages and aligot… gourmets will have plenty to refuel on! Just don’t sing “Mon beau sapaiiiiiiing” with your mouth full! As for the ice rink, we don’t yet know if it’ll be back this year. But our fingers are crossed in our mittens!
What’s new this year
We know some kids (and gourmets, who’ll be happy). Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, we’ll be handing out free sweets! And Santa Claus seems to have even more surprises in store for you. Balloon sculpture, Christmas Jazz band, Gospel Prais Family or the Lutins brass band, Santa’s presence on Wednesdays and Saturdays… Discover the full program of festivities!
While the Capitole Christmas Market is the star of winter in Toulouse, don’t forget to visit one of the many other Christmas markets.
