A few days before Christmas, many ideas for outings are devoted to it. Don’t worry, we’ve also thought of music, vinyl and art lovers. There will be something for everyone! Ask for the program!
Season requires, it is the great return of Christmas markets and festivities everywhere in the region. We start first with the inauguration of the Douai d’Hiver tomorrow. It depends on the city “The beginning of an enchanted parenthesis” with its illuminations, its carousel, its roller skate track or even all kinds of entertainment.
In Calais, find the 40 Christmas chalets in the heart of town. You can even attend a concert of Gospel songs on the theater square on Sunday from 3:00 p.m.
And we continue in this atmosphere of end-of-year celebrations with the exhibition of 1000 crèches at the church of Steenwerck. For this 27th edition, 1,300 nativity scenes from around the world are exhibited by collectors, enthusiasts, travellers… enough to capture the magic of Christmas.
It’s still not too late to fill Santa’s basket. Why not dig up the original gift at the Mini Mammoth, the art supermarket. 24 local artists, from the Dunkirk association Fructose, offer their creations for sale: photos, illustrations, sculptures or drawings. There is something for all tastes and all budgets from 1 to 100 euros. See you at the Salle de l’Avenir in Dunkirk on December 10 and 11.
Canceled twice because of the Covid, it is making a comeback: the Licques turkey festival.
