Halloween in Cusset
• In Cusset, 31 October: a completely redesigned Halloween, plus "Hantise – Malédiction", the game played in Cusset's underground tunnels
4,5 & 6 December - Cusset Christmas Market
The big event that kicks off Christmas in Cusset, just minutes from the Château. Now in its 27th year, the market takes over the town centre for a whole weekend: a great place to find gifts, taste local specialities and warm up with mulled wine. Last year there were around a hundred exhibitors, a carousel, fire performers, stilt walkers, music and dance. The market goes ahead whatever the weather!

24-25 October: Coupe des Régions Aviron
24 October: Grand Cabaret de Vichy: "Doo Wap"
17 October - 1 November 2026
Vichy and the surrounding area go all out for Halloween! Dramatised tours, immersive experiences, escape games, mystery trails, workshops and shows for all ages throughout the school holidays. A few ideas:
• Manoir des Dômes – Tours of Horror (24–31 October): step into a place where some ceremonies should never have been interrupted…
• Le Remède (24 October – 1 November): a strange medical experiment is under way deep inside the Grand Établissement thermal. Do you dare take part?
• La Pastillerie after dark (31 October)
• For children: lots of creative workshops (treat bags, garlands, pumpkins…) in Vichy and nearby, and Halloween at Vulcania until 1 November
Booking is recommended for tours and experiences. Most experiences are in French.
28 November - 4 January - Christmas in Vichy
Last year, from late November to mid-January, the Parc des Sources became a Garden of Lights, with giant peonies and glittering chandeliers along the paths, and a light-and-projection show on the façade of the Grand Casino-Opéra every evening. An ice rink, rides, a Christmas market, visits from Santa and a closing light parade completed the programme. The newly restored park even won 3rd prize at the 2026 Concours Lumières for its lighting. We're hoping the magic returns this year, and we'll let you know as soon as the programme is published.
