Intro

Grand St Nicholas Parade in Châtel-St-Denis

Experience the magic of the festive season in Châtel-St-Denis

On Saturday, 5 December 2026, come and meet Father Christmas (St Nicholas), who will parade along the Grand-Rue from 5:05 pm to greet young and old alike. The procession will end at Place de l’Institut, where St Nicholas will deliver his traditional speech, filled with wisdom and kindness. The children will then receive a little bag of sweet treats to enjoy while counting down the days until Christmas!

The Association of Shopkeepers, Industrialists and Craftspeople of Châtel-St-Denis looks forward to welcoming you for a warm and friendly gathering, complete with a hot drink in the heart of the festivities.

Please note: The CIA does not wish the procession to take place on a Sunday, which is why it will exceptionally be held on Saturday, 5 December.
