Offemont Christmas Market

The Offemont Christmas Market: The Christmas Village on the Town Hall Square

Offemont (90300) is a commune in the Territoire de Belfort belonging to the Communauté d'Agglomération du Grand Belfort. A residential commune well integrated into the Belfort urban area, Offemont is distinguished by the quality of its facilities and the vitality of its community life. Its town hall, at the heart of the village, serves as the natural meeting point for communal events, and it is on its square that the Christmas Market takes place each December.

Organized by local associations and the town hall, this Christmas Village hosts artisans, creators, and exhibitors for two days of celebration centered around the values of sharing and conviviality of the end-of-year holidays. Its location on the town hall square gives it an official and central setting that reinforces its character as an unmissable communal event.

Crafts, Creations, and Decorations

The stands at the Offemont Christmas Market host local and regional artisans and creators offering handmade jewelry, decorative items, carved wooden objects, ceramics, textile creations, and personalized items. These exhibitors offer visitors the opportunity to find original and unique gifts for the holidays, while directly supporting regional artisans.

The market also includes exhibitors specializing in Christmas decorations — garlands, baubles, nativity scenes, santons, figurines — which allow families to perfect their home decor for the holidays. Food lovers can find their delight at stands offering artisanal sweets, chocolates, honey, and regional products.

Seasonal Delicacies

The Offemont Christmas Market is also a treat for the taste buds. The town hall and its partners offer the essential classics of Christmas markets:

• Spiced Mulled Wine: the drink that warms hearts and bodies on cold December days
• Generous Crepes and Waffles, with various toppings
• Tea Room with hot infusions and homemade pastries
• Christmas Cakes and Gateaux prepared by the associations

Activities and Workshops for Children

The youngest attendees are at the heart of the Offemont Christmas Market program. A workshop for children allows them to make their own Christmas decorations under the guidance of volunteer organizers. The visit from Santa Claus on Sunday afternoon is undoubtedly the most anticipated moment for the children, who can whisper their letters to him or pose for the traditional souvenir photo.

A Christmas Market with a Friendly Format

The Offemont Christmas Market takes place over two days — generally Saturday from 3 PM to 8 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 8 PM — allowing visitors to enjoy the event at their own pace, with family or friends. This accessible and warm format, rooted in the heart of the village, makes it a popular event for the residents of Offemont and the neighboring communes of the Belfort urban area.
