Events calendar Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines

Like every year during the last week of June, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines unveils a thousand and one wonders from the bowels of the earth, treasures as mysterious as they are fascinating. We discover minerals from the ends of the earth and precious stones whose purity and rarity can reach new heights. Mineral & Gem raises Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines to the^2nd place in the world, with a thousand exhibitors from about fifty countries. Professionals and amateurs alike can admire and acquire minerals, fossils and fine stones.

After 3 years of interruption, the famous festival C'est dans la Vallée ! is reborn under the impetus of its creator and local child Rodolphe Burger. The latter dedicates this 13th edition to his friend Jacques Higelin (deceased on April 6, 2018), an honorary citizen of the city of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines where he recorded two albums. In addition to a tribute evening (Saturday, October 6 from 8:30 pm) which is sure to be full of emotions (with Izia, Areski, Sandrine Bonnaire, Eric Truffaz...), a Jacques Higelin kiosk will be inaugurated in Jules Simon Park. Another highlight of the festival and a major first in this field, the Electro Live Night organised at Val Expo brings together Acid Arab, Arnaud Rebotini and Rebeka Warrior. Sunday, October 6 at 12:00, a musical picnic in the park of Villa Burrus, followed by a closing concert at 5:00 pm with Rodolphe Burger and Bertrand Belin. Nice program in perspective!
