A festive 15 August, between Gaume traditions and summer delights
There are days that carry the whole fragrance of summer within them. This 15 August 2026 is one of them. Between villages in full celebration, local markets and concerts under the stars, Gaume and its surroundings unfold a programme that invites you to wander without watching the clock. Here is our selection, designed for those who love to experience the region at the pace of its people.
Saint-Mard, the beating heart of the festivities
There is no missing the Grand Festival of Saint-Mard: King of the Boudin and Electro Ball. A day blending the delight of a deeply rooted tradition, the magic of a torchlight procession and the energy of an electro-dance evening to close the summer in style. Extend the experience with the Photo Exhibition: 70 Years of the Youth Festival in Saint-Mard, seven decades of festive memories on display at Saint-Médard church, until 18 August.
Bargain hunting after dark
Lovers of treasures will enjoy the Night Flea Market of St-Léger, from 5 to 10 pm. Nothing beats strolling between the stalls in the cool of the evening, ice cream in hand.
Music and contemporary art
Also on the bill: the concert Winehot at Château du Faing from 8:30 pm, entirely free. And for a more contemplative interlude, the Meix' Art exhibition opens its doors at the sports hall, from 2 to 7 pm, with artists at work on Sundays.
After such a day, what a joy to return to the tranquillity of a stone cottage, somewhere in the heart of Gaume. Gîtes-Gaume welcomes you to prolong these moments, between well-earned rest and the desire to set off exploring again the very next morning.
