Fête de Courcelles

The Fête de Courcelles: a village festival in the south of the Territoire de Belfort

Courcelles (90100) is a commune in the south of the Territoire de Belfort, integrated into the Communauté de Communes du Sud Territoire. This rural village, like its neighbors Chavanatte, Lebetain, and Thiancourt, perpetuates its village festival every year, a festive tradition that brings residents together in joy and conviviality.

A day of festivities for the whole community

The Fête de Courcelles takes place around the communal village hall and the village square. The afternoon is filled with numerous activities: games for children, pétanque competitions open to all, sports and fun activities. The refreshment stand run by volunteers is the convivial heart of the event, where conversations liven up and neighbors meet.

Flavors of the region on the country table

The country meal of the Fête de Courcelles is a moment eagerly awaited by all participants. Prepared by the festival committee volunteers with regional products, it showcases the best of local gastronomy. Grilled meats, local cheeses, artisanal bread, homemade desserts: the meal is generous and tasty, served in the Franche-Comté spirit of good shared food.

Evening ball and music

The evening of the Fête de Courcelles is marked by a popular ball animated by regional musicians. The atmosphere heats up on the dance floor as the hours go by, with music adapted to all tastes. The residents of Courcelles join their friends from neighboring communes — Chavanatte, Lebetain, Thiancourt, Vellescot — for a memorable evening that extends the celebration into the early hours of the night.

Village solidarity in service of the festival

The success of the Fête de Courcelles relies on village solidarity and the commitment of volunteers. Every resident contributes — site preparation, stand setup, serving, entertainment — to make the festival a collective success. This sense of sharing and mutual aid is the fundamental value that animates the associative life of Courcelles and the villages of the Sud Territoire.
