Christmas in Obernai
Christmas in Obernai, a whole month of festivities!
Far from the crowds of the big cities, Obernai, in its setting, relies on authenticity and conviviality. This is what visitors remember; Alsatians will say that it is "so heimlich" ....
This word sums up the atmosphere in the city, especially after dark: the warmth and magic of a true Alsatian Christmas...
In addition to the Christmas Food and Crafts Market, concerts, storytelling walks and other activities punctuate the Advent season..
From Friday 24 November to Sunday 31 December 2023
The Christmas Market: the flagship event
The 40 chalets of the Christmas Market of Gastronomy and Crafts invite you to meet passionate craftsmen with real know-how. A great opportunity to taste local products: foie gras, gingerbread, salted meats, bredeles, Alsace wine, jams, Christmas beer... and to decorate your festive tables. The designers offer something to decorate the tree or to please your loved ones: hanging baskets, ceramics, wooden objects, blown glass balls...
A local speciality not to be missed: the tasting of mulled wine around the winegrowers' cauldron, as much for its unique taste (based on white wine and spices) as for the atmosphere that reigns there!

EXHIBITION OF Crips
Every year, the church of Saints-Pierre-et-Paul hosts a beautiful exhibition of nativity scenes highlighting a region or a country. In 2023, the spotlight will be on the French regions!Thanks to a partnership forged several years ago between the Obernai Tourist Office and the Bethlehem de Muzeray association in the Grand Est region, around a hundred cots crafted in a variety of materials and essences will be on display.
From Alsace to the famous Provençal cots and their illustrious characters, via the Breton cot and its Bigoudènes, let yourself be transported to the four corners of France and the overseas territories to discover some real nuggets!
This exhibition is part of the Christmas Crib Trail.
