Livry-Gargan Christmas Market

The Livry-Gargan Christmas Market: Three Days of Magic in Parc Lefèvre

Every year in December, the town of Livry-Gargan opens its magnificent Parc Lefèvre to Christmas festivities. This large landscaped park, located on avenue du Consul Général Nordling, becomes a truly enchanted winter village for three days. The Livry-Gargan Christmas Market is one of the most comprehensive and festive in Seine-Saint-Denis, combining a high-quality artisanal market, original entertainment, and a memorable inaugural show.

Around Thirty Chalets for Unique Christmas Shopping

The heart of the market consists of around thirty stands and chalets carefully selected for the quality and originality of their offerings. Visitors can find handmade jewelry, handcrafted Christmas decorations, wooden toys, scented candles, and fashion accessories. On the gastronomic side, the offerings are generous: oysters and champagne, foie gras and terrines, artisanal honey, roasted chestnuts, and a selection of regional products to compose an exceptional festive meal.

Unprecedented Entertainment for the Whole Family

The 2025 edition introduced spectacular new activities: a giant free adventure course with a giant zip line, climbing activities for children, and a freefall simulator were a hit with young visitors. These unusual attractions for a Christmas market confirmed Livry-Gargan's ambition to innovate each year to surprise its visitors.

The classics are still very present: Santa's House welcomes children for photos and magical encounters, the carousel spins in the park, and face painting stands transform little visitors into elves or sprites. An immersive trail in the nearby Château de la Forêt offers a theatrical adventure on the theme of Alice in Wonderland, adapted for winter.

A Magical Inaugural Show

The opening evening of the Livry-Gargan Christmas Market is a particularly anticipated moment. In 2025, a circus show titled The Magic Star opened the market on Friday evening: combining magic, theater, illusions, and music, this free family show enthralled several hundred spectators gathered in the park after dark. This tradition of an inaugural show is a hallmark of the Livry-Gargan Christmas market.

Livry-Gargan and its Natural Heritage

Livry-Gargan is a town in eastern Seine-Saint-Denis, bordering Montfermeil and Clichy-sous-Bois. The town is known for its numerous green spaces, including Parc Lefèvre, Parc Forestier du Bois de l'Étoile, and Parc du Sausset. This natural richness makes Livry-Gargan a green city within the Parisian metropolis, and the Christmas market in the park is its most evident festive illustration. The municipality is developing a cultural policy focused on families, accessibility for all, and the quality of events offered to its approximately 45,000 inhabitants.
