Events calendar Arras

The Arras Christmas market, which takes place in the prestigious setting of the Grand-Place, has become, over the years, one of the most important markets north of Paris and the largest in the region! With more than a hundred exhibitors, it is the equivalent of a new pedestrian district entirely dedicated to the preparation of Christmas Eve that rolls out its red carpet to visitors. The Christmas market is centered on tradition and the quality of the products sold: designer jewelry, accessories, handicrafts, ethnic gifts, gastronomic specialties... Children and adults can go on the skating rink, take a ride on the carousel, try out the Ferris wheel or take part in one of the many activities organized for the occasion... Not to be missed to fully enter this magical period of Advent!

5 km for occasional runners, 10 km for the best trained and even two tests of 1 and 2 km for young athletes: on August 26, 2018, during the Arras races, there will necessarily be something for everyone! From Place du Théâtre, your strides will take you to Rue Delansorne, while going around the nooks and crannies of the historic center of the town.
