On Saturday 6 December 2025, let yourself be enchanted by the magic of the Fire Festival, which will bring the medieval town of Saillon to life from afternoon until night!
From 2pm, the long-awaited arrival of Saint-Nicolas will kick off the festivities and the opening of the Christmas market in the Stella Helvetica hall – a warm cocoon where artisans and winter flavours await you.
Children can set off on an adventure with the Reindeer Hunt, and push open the doors of the cellars to listen to tales, watch magic tricks or take part in a lantern workshop.
In the alleyways, gourmet stalls will be offering tasty dishes and comforting drinks, while the Marble House will be welcoming the curious throughout the day.
Epicureans won’t be left out either, with a delicious wine and chocolate workshop. To register, click here (2 times: 3pm and 4.30pm).
The day will close in style at 8pm, with the ANIMA show by the Mandalights company, a poetic and flamboyant moment on the Place des Remparts.
