The Festival of Gifts, festive shopping in the European Quarter

Festive atmosphere has arrived in the EU district! As every year, the streets around Schuman area in the so-called quartier Jean Monnet are sparkling with light while nicely decorated local businesses contribute to the joyful vibe of the neighbourhood. On top of that, the second edition of the Festival of Gifts is taking place, making the holiday shopping experience in the area even more enticing.

Thanks to the initiative by the ACCJM (Association des Commerçants du Carrefour Jean Monnet), Festival of Gifts has the goal to encourage festive shopping in this part of the European Quarter and to offer a chance to win some of the very special prizes.

The concept of the Gift Festival is simple, from 25 November to 6 December, for each purchase or consumption at participating stores, visitors have a chance to win some of the wonderful gifts, including an incredible trip to Island!
