📅 3 markets 2026 with run and closure days

Genf opens the season in the canton of Geneva, on Thursday, 19 November 2026 — and it is also the last to close, on 24 December 2026. 3 of the 3 markets carry a run documented at the source; filter by place, weekday and evidence status.

The first verified Christmas market in the canton of Geneva opens on Thursday, 19 November 2026.

🕐 2 opening hours closure days included

A market running «28 November to 24 December» still has days when nothing happens — and at the weekend it often stays open two hours longer. That is exactly what stands here, in the organiser's own words.

🏘️ 2 municipalities with organiser and run

2 of the 3 markets in the canton of Geneva take place in Genf alone — the rest spread across one other municipality. For 1 of them we keep a page of their own: stall count, closure days and what the organiser actually published.

• Genf — Noël au Quai, Noël au Quai, 19 November 2026.
• Carouge — Marché de Noël de Carouge, Commerces et artisanat de Carouge (IC), 4 December 2026.
• Genf · Parc des Bastions — Marché de Noël des enfants, Ville de Genève, 9 December 2026.

📍 Location and access of the markets

Two markets in the same town rarely stand in the same place, and «old town» is not a route. Hence every published location separately — the square, the station, the lane.

🎒 Entry and weather — what the organiser announces

Is there an entry fee, is there a programme, and what happens in a storm? These are the details an aggregator drops because they differ from market to market — which is exactly why they stand here.
