Les Estivales de Neuf-Brisach

Summer evenings in an exceptional UNESCO setting

The Estivales de Neuf-Brisach were born from the desire to liven up the fortified city during the summer season. Each summer, in July and August, the majestic Place d'Armes, the geometric heart of the city built by Vauban, transforms into an open-air festival space. From 6:30 PM, residents and visitors gather to share a moment of conviviality in an exceptional heritage setting, between the classical facades of the fortress and the star-shaped ramparts classified as UNESCO World Heritage.

Music and festive atmosphere

The musical entertainment is provided by DJ Pacos, who offers a varied selection mixing contemporary hits and timeless classics. His eclectic programming invites dancing and partying, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere on the Place d'Armes. Music resonates within the historic walls of the city, offering a striking contrast between 17th-century military heritage and modern summer vibes.

Gastronomy and on-site catering

Les Estivales showcase regional gastronomy. Partner restaurateurs set up their stalls in the square, offering Alsatian specialties and gourmet dishes to enjoy on-site. The restaurants Le Rendez-vous des Copains from Logelheim and Côté Cuisine from Hirtzfelden, as well as the Comité des Fêtes Vauban, ensure a varied and quality culinary offering. Visitors can savor their meals at tables on the terrace, in the festive evening atmosphere.

Market of artisans and creators

A market of local artisans and creators accompanies each Estivales evening. Exhibitors present their original creations: handmade jewelry, textile creations, decorative objects, woodwork, illustrations, and artworks. This market offers an opportunity to discover the talent of regional artisans and to leave with unique pieces, in a relaxed atmosphere conducive to strolling.

Entertainment for families

Les Estivales are designed as a family-friendly event. A free inflatable castle is available for children, who can also enjoy the services of a face painter to transform into fantasy characters. This attention to the youngest makes Les Estivales a popular event for families, who enjoy the mild summer evenings in a safe and friendly setting in the heart of the fortified city.
