Joliette Christmas Market
November 26 to December 23, 2026
The Giant Christmas Tree
An unmissable landmark and the heart of the Christmas Market, the Giant Christmas Tree is the universal symbol of Christmas and the central theme of this anniversary edition, embodying tradition and celebration all on its own. Sparkling with a thousand lights, it will enchant visitors and serve as the perfect backdrop for capturing your most cherished memories in photos right in the middle of the square.
How about a little souvenir photo of your dog with Santa?
If your dog is young enough to believe in Santa Claus, you’ll be delighted to learn that the Joliette Christmas Market is offering you a golden opportunity to capture on camera that magical moment when your dog meets Santa Claus. On Saturday, December 5, starting at 10 a.m., enjoy “Christmas for Dogs,” a day dedicated to dogs where you’ll receive a surprise gift.
Santa's Kingdom
The magic of the holidays unfolds before you after you’ve greeted the giant Nutcrackers, beautifully refurbished for the occasion. Immerse yourself in the excitement of the holiday preparations at Santa’s House, a magical place where children can meet Santa and share their biggest wishes with him on Friday evenings (except November 27), as well as on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Continue on to the Giant Mailbox, a must-see stop where little ones can drop off their letters bound for the North Pole, and have fun as a family with our new interactive games.
The Santa Claus Parade
Fun for young and old alike! The parade will feature floats, festive entertainment, dancing, colourful characters, a marching band, elves, and plenty of surprises. The parade will begin at the corner of Saint-Pierre Street and Manseau Boulevard and continue on to Bourget Square, right in the heart of downtown. Come together to enjoy this festive event, and of course, to welcome Santa Claus!
