Although tourists visit Lille all year round, however, peak months are September, due to the famous flea market – Grande Braderie de Lille, as well as, November and December when the traditional Christmas market takes place on Place Rihour. Among the most important events are the Wazemmes L'Accordeon music festival in May and the famous Lille Piano Festival in June.
