- Parking: Un parking de 5.000 places est spécialement ouvert sur le site du Ciney Expo (Rue du Marché Couvert). Le tarif est de 7€/voiture.

Tips & Advice
- Use the Ciney Expo car park on Rue du Marché Couvert, because police carry out regular checks with zero tolerance for illegal parking.
- Visit during quieter hours if you use a wheelchair or bring a dog, because heavy crowds make getting around the park difficult.
- Come back on another weekend if you love crafts, because some exhibitors only take part in one of the three weekends.
- Watch the Féeries du Parc Facebook page for firework nights, because they depend on the weather and are announced there.
- Carry some cash as a backup, because not every chalet takes cards; you can withdraw cash on Avenue de Namur and Rue du Commerce.
Special Events & Promotions
- Venetian-costumed parade on Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 20, starting from Château Saint-Roch
- Fireworks across Parc Saint-Roch, weather permitting; dates are announced on the Féeries du Parc Facebook page

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the exhibitors the same all three weekends?
Not always. Exhibitors can take part on the first, second or third weekend, or on all three, so some chalets change from weekend to weekend.
What is sold in the chalets?
About 80% of the chalets sell handmade goods such as jewellery, decorations, candles, Christmas items, regional products and sewn items. The rest are mostly run by local associations serving food and drink.
Can I pay by card?
Many chalets accept electronic payment. You can also withdraw cash in the town centre, on Avenue de Namur and Rue du Commerce.
What is there for children?
Kids can meet Santa in his house every day and get their faces painted. They can also walk the Balade des Sapins and catch the roaming concerts and the Venetian parade.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, leashed dogs are welcome. Crowds can make a visit with a dog difficult, so quieter hours are best.
