The Dampierre-les-Bois May 1st Flea Market: An Unmissable Event in the Pays de Montbéliard

Every May 1st, the town of Dampierre-les-Bois (25490) comes alive with its large annual flea market, organized by the local festival committee. On the Place de la Salle des Fêtes, around 140 exhibitors—private and professional—display their treasures for a day of treasure hunting that traditionally marks the opening of the good season in the Pays de Montbéliard.

A Large-Scale Event for a Modest-Sized Town

Dampierre-les-Bois has about 3,500 inhabitants. Its May 1st flea market, with its 140 exhibitors, is therefore a remarkably large event for a town of its size. This success is due to the village's advantageous location, in immediate proximity to the Montbéliard urban area and Switzerland, and to the loyalty of the bargain hunters who return year after year.

Exhibitor Registration Details

To participate as an exhibitor, applicants must complete a form available on the town's website (dampierrelesbois.fr) and return it by mail with supporting documents before April 28th, 2026. No registrations will be accepted at the town hall. The quality of the registration process ensures a serious selection of exhibitors and a high standard of goods offered.

Dampierre-les-Bois, Between Montbéliard and the Swiss Border

Dampierre-les-Bois is a dynamic town located east of the Pays de Montbéliard, a few kilometers from the Swiss border. The village benefits from a privileged geographical location between the Montbéliard agglomeration and the Franche-Comté countryside. The Salle des Fêtes, the usual venue for major municipal events, offers ample space to accommodate exhibitors and visitors to the flea market.
