Foire de Lure: Haute-Saône's Big Biennial Celebration
Since 1987, the Foire de Lure has become an unmissable event for the inhabitants of Haute-Saône and neighboring departments. Organized every two years over four days at the end of September, this major regional fair hosts nearly 300 exhibitors from all over France and a guest of honor country that changes with each edition. It's the event not to be missed in Haute-Saône.
A Complete Overview of the Economy and Crafts
The Foire de Lure is much more than a simple market: it's a showcase for the local and national economy. The stands cover a wide variety of sectors: automotive, construction, housing, gastronomy, arts and crafts, well-being, agriculture, and new technologies. Local artisans rub shoulders with major national brands, offering visitors a complete panorama of know-how and innovations.
Gastronomy in the Spotlight
Each edition highlights the local products of Franche-Comté and the specialties of the guest country. Visitors can taste regional specialties — Morteau sausage, Cancoillotte cheese, Comté cheese — while discovering flavors from elsewhere. Themed evenings, such as the Alsatian evening with sauerkraut and vacherin at the 2024 edition, are highly appreciated moments of conviviality.
Shows and Entertainment
The fair is not limited to exhibition stands. A rich and varied entertainment program punctuates the four days of festivities: concerts, cabaret shows, dance evenings with an orchestra, children's entertainment, and craft demonstrations. Each edition adopts a unifying theme: in 2024, cinema was in the spotlight, in partnership with France Bleu.
A Popular and Family Event
With accessible ticket prices and free entry for children under 12, the Foire de Lure is a resolutely popular event. Families find their happiness there with rides, creative workshops, tastings, and shows. The warm atmosphere and the friendliness of the exhibitors make it a popular meeting place for all generations.
Strong Territorial Roots
Supported by the Association des Foires et Expositions de Lure, the fair benefits from the support of the city of Lure and local authorities. It contributes to the economic and tourist influence of this area located at the foot of the Southern Vosges, between Vesoul and Belfort, and strengthens the links between economic and cultural players in Haute-Saône.
