About

Charleroi's Christmas Village sets up in the lower town on two neighbouring squares. On Place de la Digue, chalets sell mulled wine, treats, gifts, makers' work and charity stands, with party nights in the big chalet. Place Verte is more family-oriented, with the ice rink and the fir-tree carousel, which stay until early January. A solidarity chalet hosts a different charity every day. Tip: on 17 December the Air Force Band gives a concert at Saint-Christophe Basilica in the upper town.
