Luxembourg – Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmaart 2027

Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmaart 2027: The traditional Christmas market on Place d’Armes in Luxembourg is expected to take place from 19 November 2027 to 2 January 2028. As part of Winterlights, it combines market stalls with festive lighting and a small children's amusement area.

Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmaart 2027 on Place d’Armes

Place d’Armes has been a central location for Luxembourg's traditional Christmas market since 1984. During Winterlights, festively decorated market huts line the square, set against its historic façades. You can combine a stroll through the Upper Town with a festive atmosphere here. The City of Luxembourg organises several separate Winterlights markets. That is why the Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmaart is on Place d’Armes and should not be confused with the Wantermaart on Place de la Constitution or Winterkids on Place Guillaume II.

Children's carousel and winter train at Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmaart 2027

For the 2026/27 edition, the city presented two special attractions for children: the “Chahut des 4 éléments” carousel and the “Wanterzuch” mini train ride through a winter scene. These are confirmed attractions from the previous season, but are not yet guaranteed for November 2027. We are therefore not associating any specific rides with the new edition for now. Once the city publishes the current Winterlights programme, the attractions that return can be added.

Christmas tree, nativity scene and gift stalls

In 2026, the city presented a large decorated Nordmann fir tree and a nativity scene by the music pavilion. The wooden huts also offered gift ideas and regional specialities. Covered areas invited you to take a relaxing break, too. This atmosphere has shaped the character of Place d’Armes for years. However, the selection and stall layout may vary in the new season. For this reason, no specific traders or stalls are listed as confirmed for 2027 yet.

Winterlights and other Christmas markets in Luxembourg

Lëtzebuerger Chrëschtmaart is part of the city-wide Winterlights programme. Winterkids, with special activities for children and families, is a few minutes' walk away on Place Guillaume II. Another winter market is also normally held on Place de la Constitution. However, this does not mean that its Ferris wheel or other attractions are on Place d’Armes. Families in particular may want to visit the individual market areas in turn and note their different locations on the map.

Dates and opening times for the 2027/28 season

We provisionally expect the market to run from Friday, 19 November 2027, to Sunday, 2 January 2028. This forecast follows the previous pattern of opening on the third Friday in November and running for around six weeks. The 2027/28 edition has not yet been officially confirmed, and the displayed opening times are based on information available as of 2026. Following the previous year's schedule, the market is closed on 25 December, with special opening times on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. These exceptions are also provisional and should be checked before your visit.

Getting to Place d’Armes

The Christmas market is in the middle of Luxembourg's Upper Town pedestrian zone. The central Hamilius stop is a good starting point for the short walk to Place d’Armes. You can also take a tram or bus from the railway station towards the city centre. You cannot drive directly to the market stalls because they are in a pedestrian zone. Public transport is therefore especially convenient. Check current services and city information before your visit.
