Bavilliers Patronal Festival

The Bavilliers Patronal Festival: the village festival in the heart of the conurbation

Bavilliers is a residential municipality of some 4,500 inhabitants, directly adjacent to the city of Belfort to the south. Despite its strong integration into the Belfort urban fabric, Bavilliers retains a strong village identity, of which the annual patronal festival is the most visible and festive expression.

A weekend of conviviality in June

The patronal festival is usually held in June, taking advantage of the long summer evenings to bring young and old together in joy and good humor. The program spans a weekend and generally includes:

• Entertainment and games for children during the day
• Sports tournaments (pétanque, football, volleyball)
• Evening concert with orchestra or DJ
• Country meal or associative banquet
• Popular ball
• Refreshments and catering at associative prices

Associative commitment at the heart of the festival

The success of the Bavilliers Patronal Festival relies entirely on the involvement of local associations: festival committee, sports clubs, parent-teacher association, veterans... These dedicated volunteers help make this event a true moment of social cohesion, strengthening the community fabric of the municipality.

Bavilliers, between tradition and modernity

A municipality with a residential character, Bavilliers welcomes many families working in Belfort and the surrounding area. Its patronal festival is therefore also a time for encounters between residents from diverse backgrounds, brought together by neighborhood life around a common project of festivity and sharing.
