Fête de Belfort - Quartier Arsot

The Fête du Quartier Arsot: Festiv'Tour in a Belfort residential district

The Arsot district, or more precisely Arsot-Ganghoffer, is a residential district in Belfort (90000), located in the northern part of the city. It is characterized by detached houses and small apartment buildings, as well as a strong neighborhood association life centered around the Arsot-Ganghoffer Neighborhood Association.

This association plays an essential role in the social life of the district throughout the year, organizing solidarity actions, cultural events, and activities for residents. The summer festival is one of its annual highlights, which benefits from the support of the City of Belfort as part of the Festiv'Tour program.

The Arsot-Ganghoffer Neighborhood Association

The Arsot-Ganghoffer Neighborhood Association is the driving force behind the social life of this sector of Belfort. It upholds values of solidarity, intergenerational connection, and active citizenship. Throughout the year, it organizes events and actions that allow residents to get to know each other better and get involved in their neighborhood's life.

A policy of solidarity in Belfort's neighborhoods

The City of Belfort has been pursuing an active policy in favor of residential and working-class neighborhoods for many years. The Festiv'Tour is part of this approach by bringing summer activities to every district of the city, thus creating a link between the city center and the urban periphery and ensuring that all Belfort residents have equal access to free summer festivities.

A festival of proximity and sharing

The Fête du Quartier Arsot is above all a moment of meeting and sharing among neighbors. It allows newcomers to integrate, long-time residents to reconnect, and children to form friendships in a relaxed and festive setting. These moments of summer conviviality are precious for the social fabric of the neighborhood.
