Fête de Thiancourt

The Fête de Thiancourt: a popular event in the South Territoire

Thiancourt (90100) is a commune in the south of the Territoire de Belfort, a member of the Communauté de Communes du Sud Territoire. This rural village, surrounded by the characteristic agricultural landscapes of the south of the department, perpetuates its village festival every summer, a moment of gathering and celebration deeply rooted in local traditions.

Popular entertainment and fairground games

The Fête de Thiancourt takes place around the village square and the communal village hall. The afternoon is filled with games and activities suitable for all ages: fairground games, pétanque competitions, sports tournaments, and activities for children. Volunteers from the festival committee serve drinks and prepare food stalls in a relaxed and warm atmosphere.

Local gastronomy and country meal

Local gastronomy is honored during the country meal at the Fête de Thiancourt. Volunteers meticulously prepare a generous menu highlighting regional products: Franche-Comté cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, grilled meats, and homemade pastries. This shared meal, served outdoors or in the village hall, is one of the day's most appreciated moments, where conversations continue long around the table.

Ball and festive evening

The evening of the Fête de Thiancourt continues with a popular ball or a concert. Residents of Thiancourt and their guests from neighboring villages — Chavanatte, Courcelles, Lebetain, Vellescot, Saint-Dizier-l'Évêque — gather on the dance floor to end the day with music. The festive atmosphere typical of village festivals in the Territoire de Belfort continues into the evening with general good cheer.

Each edition is an opportunity for volunteers to showcase their skills and dedication to the community.
