Beaucroissant Spring Fair

Eight Centuries of History in Beaucroissant

The origins of the Beaucroissant Fair date back to 1219, a year of a catastrophe that marked the history of the Dauphiné region. On September 14, 1219, a violent flood caused by the rupture of a natural dam in the Gorges de l'Infernet devastated Grenoble, killing thousands. Hundreds of survivors found refuge on the heights of what would become Beaucroissant. The annual pilgrimage that followed attracted merchants and traders, giving birth to this historic fair.

600 exhibitors over 10 hectares

The Spring Fair today brings together around 600 exhibitors spread over 10 hectares of exhibition space, with over 10 kilometers of aisles to explore. You can find everything: agricultural equipment, machinery, farm and companion animals, local crafts, regional products, tools, gardening supplies, and a significant flea market and antiques section. The 55th edition in its current format will be held in April 2026.

A major event in the Voironnais region

Organized by the Beaucroissant Town Hall, the fair attracts nearly 100,000 visitors each year from across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The fairground, a vast area on the outskirts of the village between Voiron and Rives, is perfectly equipped to host this large-scale event. Food, entertainment, and shows complete the program for this festive weekend.
