Fête de Vauthiermont

The Fête de Vauthiermont: traditions and conviviality in the Territoire de Belfort

Vauthiermont (90150) is a commune of 244 inhabitants in the Territoire de Belfort, a member of the Syndicat Intercommunal du Tilleul which brings together seven cooperative villages. Located in the north of the department, this preserved village perpetuates multiple festive traditions. The annual village festival is part of a calendar of events that also includes bonfires, beer festivals, street festivals, fireworks, and traditional celebrations.

Varied festivities for all tastes

The Fête de Vauthiermont is a busy day that begins in the afternoon with children's entertainment: outdoor games, inflatable structures, pétanque competitions, and sports activities. The refreshment stand run by volunteers from the festival committee offers drinks, barbecued food, and light meals in a friendly atmosphere. Exhibitions or craft markets may also enrich the program depending on the edition.

The town hall and associations: driving forces behind the festival

The Vauthiermont town hall, located at 8 rue du Lavoir, actively supports the organization of the festivities. The festival committee and local associations – sports, cultural, leisure – unite to offer a high-quality program that meets the expectations of the residents. This collective mobilization reflects a dynamic associative life in this rural village that refuses to sleep.

Country meal and popular dance

The country meal is the highlight of the day. Prepared with care by volunteers, it showcases Franche-Comté flavors in a warm atmosphere. In the evening, the popular dance or lively concert brings together all generations to close the festival in joy and good spirits. The inhabitants of Vauthiermont and their friends from neighboring villages – Angeot, Frais, Larivière – gather to extend the evening with music.

Vauthiermont, between hiking and village life

The surroundings of Vauthiermont offer beautiful hiking routes in the forests and hills of the Territoire de Belfort. The local festival is an opportunity for hikers and passing visitors to discover this welcoming village and its rural way of life. 8 rue du Lavoir beats to the rhythm of the seasons and events that mark communal life throughout the year.
