Winter village, creative market and illuminations at Cité Fertile
Pantin transforms its town center into a real Christmas village every December. Place Olympe de Gouges hosts the artisan market on December 13th, Cité Fertile offers its creative and solidarity markets on the weekend of December 14-15th, and Place de la Pointe comes alive with a Christmas village from December 20th to 29th with a sledding slope, curling, carousel, and encounters with Santa Claus. A festive and diverse end-of-year celebration for all Pantin residents.
Pantin, a dynamic town bordering the Canal de l'Ourcq, deploys a particularly rich Christmas festivities program every December, which illuminates its neighborhoods and offers its residents varied and accessible celebrations. The town is multiplying initiatives so that every Pantin resident can enjoy a lively and friendly Christmas celebration, regardless of their neighborhood.
The artisan market at Place Olympe de Gouges is the highlight of Pantin's Christmas. On Saturday, December 13th, from 10 am to 7 pm, artisans, producers, winegrowers, and creators will take over this emblematic town center square to offer a selection of original gifts and festive products. Handmade jewelry, Christmas decorations, decorative items, local products, and seasonal treats make up a quality offering that allows you to find original gifts for the holidays.
The Cité Fertile (14 avenue Édouard Vaillant), an emblematic third-place in Pantin located in a former warehouse, hosts themed Christmas markets every weekend from November to December. The weekend of December 14th and 15th is dedicated to the Cité de Noël: a local and solidarity market of creators and associations, bringing together artisans committed to ethical and responsible practices. This atypical space offers a creative alternative to traditional markets, in an urban and festive atmosphere unique to this place.
From December 20th to 29th, Place de la Pointe transforms into a real Christmas village with attractions for the whole family. On the program: a synthetic sledding slope, ice curling, a carousel, and encounters with Santa Claus. Hot drinks and treats are served to warm visitors. This Christmas village allows Pantin residents to extend the festivities after the artisan market and offers children a fun and magical experience in the final days before Christmas Eve.
The Christmas festivities in Pantin officially begin on Friday, December 6th at 6 pm in front of the Town Hall, with the illumination ceremony and Christmas carols. This free and family-friendly event marks the beginning of the Pantin festive season and attracts many residents who gather to share this moment of collective celebration, mulled wine, and traditional songs.
