The best parties Haut-Rhin

Over the years, Alsace's Christmas markets have proven to be truly magical. For proof of this, a visit to Colmar is a must. For when the festive season arrives, the city of Bartholdi is decked out in sublime decorations and other enchanting illuminations! Since 2018, six markets have been opening their adorable chalets in the following locations: Place des Dominicains, Place Jeanne d'Arc, Petite Venise, Place de l'Ancienne Douane, inside the Koïfhus, and last but not least, in Place de la Cathédrale, dedicated to Alsatian gastronomy. As you stroll along, you'll be able to enjoy a delicious mulled wine while soaking up the festive atmosphere. Various fun and picturesque events are organized along the way. Not to be missed!

The herds come down from the Vosges meadows where they spent the summer. In Munster, we always celebrate in a good mood this moment in the farming calendar. The festival of the transhumance and the tourte is enamelled with multiple animations: farmers' market, demonstration of cheese making, traditional dances and concerts of alphorns, parade of beautiful Vosges cows in the streets, exhibitions and of course, tasting of tasty tourtes!

Set against an enchanting backdrop of snow-covered mountain scenery, this ephemeral open-air skating rink invites you to share the joys of sliding with family and friends. The tradition of this facility goes back a long way, when city employees enjoyed a rudimentary facility for family skating. Today, a circuit specially designed for children aged 3 to 10 is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 2pm to 5pm. In addition, a number of special events are scheduled from late November to late December, including a visit from Santa Claus!

Throughout the day, there are many shows and animations for young and old! The top of the day is given by a procession. The festival is divided into 4 zones: the medieval camp, the big stage, the children's animation and the path of the strange. The festival ends with a great fire show. Organized by the association "Fête de la Sorcière Rouffach", this festival is totally realized by volunteers. The objective is to propose an authentic festival, to give pleasure, playful thrill and many strong emotions.
