Fête de Sevenans

The Fête de Sevenans: conviviality at the crossroads of the Territoire de Belfort

Sevenans (90400) is a commune in the Territoire de Belfort with a particular geographical position: it hosts the UTBM campus (University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard) on its territory, one of the major engineering schools in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Despite the presence of this university infrastructure, Sevenans retains its village identity and its tradition of an annual communal festival, supported by local associations and the town hall.

The Fête de Sevenans is the time of year when the inhabitants of the village — permanent residents, families, and members of the university community — come together to share a day of conviviality and good cheer, reviving the traditions of popular festivals in the Territoire de Belfort.

Activities and games for everyone

The festival takes place around the communal village hall, located in the heart of the village. The afternoon features activities for children: inflatable games, creative activities, sports tournaments, and traditional games. Adults enjoy the associative refreshment stand and food stalls to gather in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.

A pétanque tournament often brings together enthusiasts from the village and neighboring communes in a spirit of friendly competition. Local associations enthusiastically animate the various areas of the festival, offering attractions, raffles, and various activities that contribute to the warm atmosphere of the day.

The convivial meal

Food is at the heart of the Fête de Sevenans. A convivial meal — often around a giant barbecue or a country-style meal — brings participants together in a spirit of sharing. Local specialties and drinks at associative prices delight guests in a relaxed atmosphere, conducive to reunions and exchanges between neighbors.

The musical evening

In the evening, the festival reaches a high point with a concert or a popular ball hosted by a musical group. The stage set up in front of the village hall hosts various musical ensembles — French variety, festive orchestras, cover bands — inviting the people of Sevenans to dance and enjoy the warm summer nights of the Territoire de Belfort.
