Fête de Buc

Buc: an agricultural village on the borders of the Territoire de Belfort

The village of Buc (90800) is located on the edge of the Territoire de Belfort and Haute-Saône, in a preserved rural area. With around 300 inhabitants – the Bucains and Bucaines – this village is dominated by strong agricultural activity: 60% of its territory is dedicated to mixed farming and mainly dairy farming, giving the village an authentic pastoral character.

The Buc Loisirs association: the driving force of local life

Buc's community life is mainly driven by the Buc Loisirs association, which also manages the village's beautification and the organization of decorations for the end-of-year holidays. This dynamic association is at the heart of the commune's social life and is responsible for organizing the annual summer festival that brings the entire community together.

The Buc town hall, accessible via its official website mairiedebuc.fr, coordinates local initiatives and supports the community projects that keep the village alive throughout the year. The festival committee and volunteers are committed to offering a quality festival, true to the convivial spirit of Franche-Comté village festivals.

The summer festival program

Each summer, the Fête de Buc offers a festive program suited to its rural and family-friendly character:

• Activities for children (outdoor games, adventure course)
• Petanque competition between villages in the region
• Refreshment stand with regional beers and cold drinks
• Catering based on local and agricultural products
• Convivial meal with Franche-Comté specialties
• Dancing evening with an orchestra or DJ

An agricultural and natural setting

Buc's location between the Territoire de Belfort and Haute-Saône gives the festival an authentic country atmosphere, far from urban areas. The surrounding meadows and farms bear witness to the village's agricultural vitality and contribute to the pleasant natural setting in which the festivities take place.

Buc and the Grand Belfort urban community

Although located on the outskirts, Buc is part of the Grand Belfort urban community. This affiliation allows the village to benefit from the agglomeration's services and facilities while retaining its authentic rural character. Buc's annual festival is an opportunity for residents to reaffirm their attachment to their village identity and their rural way of life, far from urban constraints.
