Évette-Salbert is a commune of about 2,000 inhabitants in the Territoire de Belfort, located at the foot of the Salbert hill, a natural symbol of the department. This exceptional geographical setting, between forest and plain, gives the commune a unique identity reflected in its associative and festive life.

The annual festival at the heart of the village

Every summer, the Fête d'Évette-Salbert mobilizes local associations for a festive program:

• Entertainment and games for children
• Sports tournaments and outdoor activities
• Evening concert or show
• Shared community meal
• Popular dance
• Refreshments and food at community prices

Le Salbert: a natural and memorial heritage

Le Salbert (605 m) is the emblematic hill of the Territoire de Belfort, visible from the entire agglomeration. Its summit, crowned with a watchtower and fortifications, offers an exceptional panorama of the Ill plain, the Vosges mountain range, and the Alps on a clear day. This symbolic mountain is a popular walking and memorial site for the department's inhabitants. The Fête d'Évette-Salbert is part of this strong natural and heritage context.

Heritage Days

Évette-Salbert also participates in the European Heritage Days every September, with guided tours of its local heritage. This cultural highlight complements the commune's festive events and demonstrates the residents' attachment to their history.

A village in motion

Évette-Salbert is a developing residential commune, attracting new families thanks to its green living environment on the outskirts of Belfort. Its communal festival is an opportunity for these newcomers to integrate into local life and build relationships with their neighbors in an open and warm atmosphere.
