The story

Winterkids Luxembourg in Luxembourg City

Winterkids is the children and family strand of Luxembourg City's Winterlights festival, centered on a dedicated Winterkids Village on Place Guillaume II. Free cooking and craft workshops, puppet shows, and singing and music sessions run daily from 11am to 6pm, alongside a giant slide and a magic sleigh ride. Across the season the programme totals around 300 workshops and performances, all free and open without advance booking.

Christmas markets across Europe often treat children's entertainment as an afterthought, a corner with a carousel next to the mulled wine stalls.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What makes Winterkids distinct is that it is built entirely around participation: children take part in free cooking and craft workshops and puppet shows rather than watching a market pass by, and the daily 11am to 6pm schedule lets families plan a visit around a specific slot

02

The mystery stays covered

The sheer volume of programming, around 300 workshops and performances across the festival's roughly six-week run, means repeat visits rarely repeat the same activity

03

The city starts moving

Because everything is free with no advance reservation, the village removes the usual cost and planning barriers of holiday activities, though arriving fifteen minutes early is worth doing since workshops fill their spots

04

The water draws everyone in

The giant slide and magic sleigh ride add a playground element, giving Winterkids its own identity within Winterlights rather than functioning as a side attraction
