Fête de Belfort - Quartier Mont

The Fête du Quartier du Mont: Festiv'Tour on the heights of Belfort

The Mont district, also known as Les Barres / Le Mont, is a residential area of Belfort (90000) located on the plateau overlooking the city center. Its development, initiated in the 1930s with the construction of the Les Barres school and numerous low-rent housing units (HLM), continued in the post-war decades to form a popular and lively district.

This district offers a clear view of the city and its surroundings, particularly from the Terrasses du Mont, which provide a panorama of the Belfort plain and the surrounding hills. It is precisely in this space that the Festiv'Tour, the City of Belfort's traveling summer event program, makes its stop in this district every summer.

Festiv'Tour at the Terrasses du Mont: activities for everyone

The Festiv'Tour's stop in the Mont district offers a program designed for all generations:

• Creative recycling workshops: making original objects from recycled materials
• Artistic face painting: colorful makeovers for children
• Giant wooden games: oversized games for young and old (Jenga, giant dominoes, etc.)
• Circus arts: introduction to juggling, acrobatics, and balance
• Sports challenges: fun sports activities and challenges adapted for all ages
• Local entertainment: shows, performances, and activities in the open spaces of the district

Activities generally take place from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM on a Saturday in July or August.

A popular district with a strong identity

The Mont district is one of the most populated districts in Belfort. Its density of collective housing and its diverse sociology make it a particularly lively and supportive living space. The Belfort tourist office mentions this district among the representative areas of Belfort's urban development in the 20th century.

The Festiv'Tour policy: animating all districts of Belfort

The Festiv'Tour program of the City of Belfort, launched over ten years ago, is an exemplary initiative for democratizing summer leisure activities. By bringing activities to every district of the city, the municipality guarantees every Belfort resident equitable access to summer festivities, without having to travel to the city center. The Mont district fully benefits from this festive and cultural public service policy.

The Terrasses du Mont: a friendly space in the heart of the district

The Terrasses du Mont, located on rue de la Fraternité, are the district's reference point for events and conviviality. This landscaped area, which offers a clear view of the city, is the ideal setting for summer events that bring residents together for games, shows, and moments of sharing.
