About Saône en Fête
A festival on the water
La Saône en Fête is an annual event held every June at the Parc de la Mairie in Pontailler-sur-Saône, Côte-d'Or. Organized by the town's Culture and Animation Committee, this event celebrates the close link between Pontailler and its river, the Saône, a major waterway in Burgundy. The event brings together about forty exhibitors – local creators and producers – in a green and friendly setting.
Crafts, gastronomy, and river trips
The program for La Saône en Fête focuses on discovering the river heritage and local know-how. Visitors can stroll among the stands of artisans and producers, attend live creation demonstrations, and enjoy boat trips on the Saône. Musical entertainment and dance performances punctuate the day, while on-site catering allows visitors to taste the specialties of the Burgundian region.
A family-friendly and free event
Access to La Saône en Fête is free, making it an accessible event for everyone.
