Fête de Vescemont

The Fête de Vescemont: conviviality in the Doller valley

Vescemont (90200) is a village in the Territoire de Belfort located in the Doller valley, halfway between Giromagny and the Vosges peaks. A municipality of the "Communauté de communes des Vosges du Sud", Vescemont proudly maintains its festive traditions through its annual village festival. The Fête de Vescemont is the popular event par excellence, the one that brings all generations together in joy and sharing.

Entertainment and festivities for all ages

The festival takes place around the communal village hall, the rallying point for Vescemont's associations. The afternoon features entertainment: games for children, pétanque competitions, friendly tournaments, and fun activities organized by volunteers. The refreshment stand set up outdoors or in the hall welcomes visitors and residents for relaxed moments of exchange.

The country meal, a highlight of conviviality

As in most village festivals in Franche-Comté, the country meal holds a central place in the day. Grilled meats, salads, regional cheeses, and homemade desserts are on the menu for a meal carefully prepared by volunteers. Served outdoors or under a tent depending on the weather, it's an opportunity for neighbors and friends to share a mealtime in the purest Franche-Comté tradition.

Musical evening and popular dance

The evening is crowned by a popular dance or a concert by regional artists. Residents of Vescemont and visitors from neighboring towns — Riervescemont, Auxelles-Bas, Vescemont — gather on the dance floor in a festive and warm atmosphere. The music adapts to the mood: French variety, accordion, live music, or disco atmosphere depending on the editions.

Vescemont, a vibrant community attached to its roots

Vescemont stands out for its preserved natural setting, between the Vosges forests, the river, and greenery. The local festival reflects the residents' attachment to their village and traditions. Each edition mobilizes many volunteers who give their time to ensure the festival's success and make the town shine with a special glow for a day.
