Pony rides, food and workshops
The official listing also announces:
- pony rides with Écurie du Champ du Vent;
- food provided by La Boucherie des Hauts;
- free workshops with laboitamarion.
The listing does not give separate arrangements for each Wednesday. If one of these activities is the main reason for going, check the online calendar on the day or contact the organiser through the details in the official listing.
Foire de la Bienvenue and other events: check before travelling
The Foire de la Bienvenue held on Monday 13 July 2026 has finished. It is no longer an upcoming event.
An earlier version of this page also described recurring pétanque sessions, a games library and chocolate-maker visits. The two sources checked on 14 July do not confirm an identical programme for every week of the summer. Some of these activities may appear on selected dates, but check their time and conditions in the official La Bresse Hautes Vosges calendar before setting off.
The calendar is the right source for newly announced workshops, concerts, markets, exhibitions, family activities and sports events.
Plan a day around the market
With the market opening at 5pm, you can keep the daytime for a walk or another activity. Our guide to things to do in La Bresse in summer helps with nearby choices. If you are going to Lac des Corbeaux first, read the 2026 Esti’Lac shuttle and access guide because afternoon traffic restrictions apply during the summer service period.
Allow time to park and adjust the plan to the weather. If the schedule changes, the tourist office information takes precedence.
