Fête d'Auxelles-Bas

The Fête d'Auxelles-Bas: tradition and conviviality in the heart of the Belfort Vosges

Perched at an altitude of 491 meters on the first foothills of the Vosges, the village of Auxelles-Bas (90200) has a few hundred inhabitants who perpetuate the beautiful tradition of the village festival every summer. The Fête d'Auxelles-Bas, organized by the local festival committee with the support of the municipality, brings together all generations for a day of sharing and entertainment in a remarkable natural setting.

A festive program for the whole family

The festival traditionally takes place around the communal village hall, ideally located in the heart of the village. From the afternoon onwards, entertainment follows one after another for the greatest pleasure of children and adults: outdoor games, pétanque competitions, sports tournaments, and various attractions. Volunteers from the association run the refreshment stand and offer catering at a modest price, in the friendly spirit of Franche-Comté festivals.

Music and dancing in the heart of the Vosges

The evening is marked by a popular dance animated by local and regional musicians. Accordion, French variety, or live music punctuate the end of the day, offering the residents of Auxelles and their guests a memorable festive moment. The mild Vosges evening and the preserved village setting give this dance a special flavor, far from the urban hustle and bustle.

Auxelles-Bas, a Vosges village with living traditions

Auxelles-Bas is part of the Vosges du Sud community of communes. Surrounded by forests and meadows, this village preserves an authentic rural heritage. The local festival is an opportunity for the elders to meet and for families to strengthen the bonds that make up the richness of village associative life. Each edition sees many dedicated volunteers mobilize to ensure the success of the event.

An event rooted in local life

The Fête d'Auxelles-Bas plays an essential role in the social life of the commune. The proceeds from the refreshment stand and catering allow local associations to finance their activities throughout the year. It is also a special moment to highlight the exceptional living environment of Auxelles-Bas and invite residents from neighboring villages to share the joy of the inhabitants.
