Fête de Belfort - Quartier des Résidences

The Fête du quartier des Résidences: a summer of conviviality in Belfort

The Résidences-Bellevue neighborhood is one of Belfort's residential areas (90000), located in the eastern part of the city. Every summer, it hosts festive events organized as part of the City of Belfort's summer initiatives, notably the Festiv'Tour and Festiv'Été, which distribute free activities throughout Belfort's neighborhoods.

The Festiv'Tour: the neighborhood at the heart of the events

The Festiv'Tour is an initiative by the City of Belfort that organizes a day of activities in a different neighborhood every summer Saturday. When the Résidences host the Festiv'Tour, the Parc de la Douce—the neighborhood's green space—transforms into a festive playground with creative recycling workshops, face painting, giant wooden games, sports challenges, and circus entertainment.

These activities are completely free and designed for families and adults alike, in a spirit of inclusion and social diversity. Neighborhood houses and local associations participate in the organization to offer activities tailored to residents.

Artistic creations from the neighborhood

The Résidences neighborhood is also associated with artistic trails organized in May as part of cultural mediation projects. Ephemeral works created by students from Léonard-de-Vinci and Simone-Signoret middle schools, and the neighborhood's primary schools, are exhibited in the streets to showcase the creativity of young residents.

A lively local market

The neighborhood has a food market that hosts about fifty vendors, forming a regular social hub for residents. During the summer festivals, this commercial fabric contributes to the neighborhood's liveliness and the creation of a friendly atmosphere.
