Launch of the Christmas lights

Every year in Trouville-sur-Mer, the switching on of the Christmas lights marks the start of the festive season. On Friday 4 December at 5.30 pm, the public is invited to Square de la Rosace, next to the fish market, for the traditional switching-on ceremony.

Organised by the Town of Trouville-sur-Mer, the Tourist Office and the Cap Trouville traders’ association, this convivial event coincides with the official switching on of the Christmas lights throughout the town. The Art Big Band will provide the evening’s musical entertainment, whilst Cap Trouville will be serving treats and hot drinks: hot chocolate, mulled cider and biscuits to warm you up.

A sparkling start to the festive season, where you can see the town decked out in its festive colours and share in the beginning of the magic of Christmas together.
