Luxembourg Christmas Fairs 2025
In this article we will talk about the most popular and interesting places in festive Luxembourg. Where to go with the whole family, where the most delicious mulled wine is, and where you can just have a good time.
Luxembourg's Catholics value Christmas more than New Year's Eve, so the festive fairs start appearing here at the end of November, so that by 21 December they have already opened their doors and attracted the maximum number of visitors.
Centre of Luxembourg
Traditionally, most activity is expected in the centre, as the metropolitan area attracts the largest number of tourists and locals each year.
Winterlights, 21 November - 4 January
Winterlights is one of the most memorable and famous festivals. During Winterlights, Luxembourg's capital is transformed into a glittering winter kingdom. Visitors can stroll the festively decorated streets, visit the Christmas markets at Place d'Armes, Place de la Constitution and Place de Paris, enjoy ice-skating in Kinnekswiss Park and admire the new Sapin Royal Christmas tree at Place Émile Hamilius. The programme includes handmade gifts, traditional treats, concerts, exhibitions and family entertainment including Winterkids. Getting to the centre is convenient thanks to public transport and intercepted parking.
Wanterflair, 6 - 21 December
A cosy family market in the Communal Park of Hesperange. Food courts, festive goods, crafts and an entertainment programme await you. There are also themed evenings planned before and after the main fair, such as dances and fondue evenings.
Vegan Xmas Market, 6 - 7 December
In honour of its tenth anniversary, the Luxembourg Vegan Society is once again holding a two-day Christmas market with entirely plant-based food and drink. The market is open from 12pm to 8pm on 6 December, and from 11am to 6pm on 7 December.
Christmas Fair in Mersch, 29 November - 1 December
Around 45 wooden chalets will offer handmade crafts and treats on the first weekend of Advent. The opening begins on 29 November with the arrival of St Nicholas and a procession to the square. At 6pm there is a festive opening with songs by school children and sweet gifts for children. The programme for children includes shows with Mickey Mouse and school performances on Saturday and Sunday.

Christmas fair in Clervaux, 7 December

Ettelbruck Christmas Fair, 12 December
Festive market with concerts and street shows. Ideal place for pre-Christmas shopping and family holidays.

As you can see, almost every major regional centre can boast its own Christmas fair. Their small number is due to the compactness of Luxembourg. In such circumstances, it is much more profitable and convenient to hold relatively large festivals in the centres of greatest attraction than to focus on each small town.
