Six weeks before the Braderie de Lille 2026, excitement is rising. The last pieces of the puzzle are falling into place: the final map has been published, the programme is finalised and the final logistical preparations are in full swing. A complete update.
The final map is available
The official map of the Braderie de Lille 2026 is now online. It details the exhibition zones, streets closed to traffic, locations of music stages, first aid stations and water points. This year, the perimeter extends towards the Moulins quarter, offering new streets to explore.
Last exhibitor spots
There are still a few spots available, mainly in the outer zones. If you wish to exhibit, now is the time. Both professionals and private individuals can still register online on the council website.
Transport: the traffic plan
Ilevia has published its special Braderie traffic plan. Road closures begin on Friday 4 September at 6 pm. The metro will run continuously on the night from Saturday to Sunday. Park-and-ride facilities will be free all weekend. Also consider the bicycle as an alternative.
Accommodation: last availability
Most city centre hotels are fully booked. There is still availability in the metropolitan area (Roubaix, Tourcoing, Villeneuve-d'Ascq) and some unusual accommodation. Check our accommodation guide.
