Perpignan Christmas Market

The Perpignan Christmas Market: a winter wonderland at the foot of the Castillet

Each year, from late November to early January, Perpignan adorns itself with its most beautiful illuminations to host its Christmas Market. The Quai Sébastien Vauban, with its extension on Place Gabriel Péri, forms the heart of the event with its wooden artisan chalets offering local creations, regional products, and gift ideas.

A magical journey through the city center

The enchantment is not limited to the Vauban quay. Perpignan's emblematic squares participate in the Christmas magic: Place de Catalogne, Place Arago, Place de la Résistance, and Place Gambetta host gourmet chalets, rides, and carousels for children. At the foot of the Castillet, the Ferris wheel offers a breathtaking view of the illuminated city.

Entertainment for everyone

The Christmas program in Perpignan includes numerous activities: gospel concert and fireworks for the inauguration, Christmas parade from the boulevard Wilson, traditional Catalan entertainment, living nativity scenes, and an artisan market. The gourmet chalets scattered across the different squares offer local specialties and seasonal treats.

An event rooted in Catalan tradition

Perpignan's Christmas harmoniously blends Catalan traditions with Christmas festivities: the Tió de Nadal (Catalan Christmas log), the Caganer (typical figurines), and traditional Catalan songs enrich the festive atmosphere, making the Perpignan Christmas Market a unique event.
