Christmas Market Saint-Amand — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Saint-Amand-Montrond Christmas Market has not yet been officially announced by the local festival committee or the town hall. Previous editions have typically taken place over a weekend in mid-December, running from Friday to Sunday at the Place de la République, featuring craft stalls, the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus by carriage, a motorcycle parade, and fireworks. The 2026 program will be added as soon as it is released.
Details yet to be confirmed
As of August 20, 2026, neither the town hall nor the Saint-Amand-Montrond festival committee has released the program for the 2026 Christmas Market. In previous years, announcements have often come late; for instance, the 2025 edition (December 12-14) was only detailed in the local press on December 10, 2025, just two days before the opening.
For over twenty years, the festival committee has organized this market in partnership with the municipality. In 2024 and 2025, it took over the Place de la République for a weekend in mid-December, showcasing artisanal exhibitors (jewelry, glass engraving, ceramics, soaps, etc.), the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus in a donkey-drawn carriage, a costumed motorcycle parade organized by Les Vitrines Saint-Amandoises and the Macadam 18 club, a fireworks display, and musical entertainment by the Ainay-le-Château Christmas brass band.
