Braderie d'Été de Mulhouse

The Braderie d'Été de Mulhouse: Open-air sales in the heart of the city

Every year at the beginning of July, the center of Mulhouse transforms into a huge open-air market during the Braderie d'Été de Mulhouse. Organized by Les Vitrines de Mulhouse, the association of city center shopkeepers, this event is one of the highlights of the Mulhouse summer and attracts thousands of visitors each year from the entire agglomeration and neighboring regions — Alsace, Franche-Comté, Baden-Württemberg, and Northern Switzerland.

More than 350 exhibitors in the pedestrian streets

For two consecutive days, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., the main pedestrian arteries of Mulhouse city center — notably rue du Sauvage and the surrounding streets — are taken over by more than 350 exhibitors. Permanent shopkeepers based in the city center and non-permanent exhibitors come together to offer a wide range of items at bargain prices:

• Clothing and shoes for adults and children
• Books, records, cultural items
• Jewelry and fashion accessories
• Home textiles, decoration items
• Small appliances and everyday items
• Toys and games for children

An event on the Alsatian summer calendar

The Braderie d'Été de Mulhouse coincides with the start of the summer sales, offering consumers a double opportunity to grab a bargain. The city center is enlivened by the massive presence of exhibitors, but also by the complementary programming offered by local businesses who take advantage of the influx of visitors to decorate their windows and offer special deals.

Easily accessible city center

Mulhouse city center is served by the tramway and buses from the Soléa network. Five reduced-rate park-and-ride facilities are available nearby:

• Parking Porte Haute
• Parking Centre
• Parking Maréchaux

Favorable rates (4 hours at a reduced price) are usually offered on the day of the street sale to facilitate access for visitors by car.

Les Vitrines de Mulhouse, organizer of commercial life in the city center

The association Les Vitrines de Mulhouse brings together the shopkeepers of Mulhouse city center and works throughout the year to liven up and energize the heart of the Alsatian city. The Braderie d'Été is one of its flagship events, alongside the Christmas markets or the winter illuminations. This event contributes to the commercial attractiveness of the city center and the influence of Mulhouse in the Haut-Rhin department and beyond the borders.
