The National Holiday in Essert: The Republic Celebrates on the Outskirts of Belfort

The commune of Essert (90850) is located in the Territoire de Belfort, on the immediate outskirts of Belfort, the department's prefecture. Its proximity to the main city gives it an urban and residential identity, while retaining a strong community spirit, particularly evident during the celebrations of the National Holiday.

A Festive July 14th for the Entire Commune

Each year, the July 14th festivities in Essert offer a program accessible to all:

• Popular Entertainment: games, stalls, fairground
• Refreshments and Food: provided by local associations
• Concert or Musical Entertainment: in the evening, before the pyrotechnic show
• Fireworks: launched at dusk from a vantage point

Fireworks, the Climax of the Festivities

The fireworks in Essert beautifully conclude the republican evening. Residents of Essert and neighboring communes gather to admire the colorful bursts that light up the sky of this commune bordering Belfort. A free and popular show, in the purest tradition of July 14th celebrations in France.
