About Ernée Christmas Market

The Ernée Christmas Market is a flagship event in North Mayenne, attracting nearly 2,000 visitors each year. Held over a weekend in early December, it takes place between the Salle de l'Atelier for the covered market and the town center for the Artcom' Christmas Walk. Over fifty exhibitors offer gourmet products and gift ideas. The highlight is the spectacular parade of illuminated tractors on Saturday evening, an agricultural tradition that has become emblematic of the event. Shows, entertainment, and conviviality make this market a highly anticipated family gathering.

A Covered Market at the Salle de l'Atelier

The Ernée Christmas Market, now in its 8th edition, is primarily held at the Salle de l'Atelier, providing a covered and comfortable space to host exhibitors and visitors in all weather. This space allows for sheltered browsing among stands beautifully decorated in Christmas colors.

The Artcom' Christmas Walk

In parallel with the covered market, the association Artcom' organizes the Christmas Walk in the village of Ernée, around the church and Place Renault Morlière. On Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the town center streets transform into a festive route with street entertainment, shows, and musical ambiance that delights young and old.

The Illuminated Tractor Parade

An emblematic and spectacular moment, the parade of illuminated tractors takes place on Saturday evening at 7:30 PM. Dozens of tractors decorated with fairy lights parade through the streets of Ernée in a magical procession that blends agricultural tradition and Christmas magic. This unique parade has become the signature of the Ernée Christmas Market and attracts an ever-growing audience each year.

Shows and Entertainment

The weekend program also includes live shows on Sunday, children's activities, and artistic strolls through the town center streets. The festive atmosphere is enhanced by on-site catering with mulled wine, crêpes, and local specialties.
