Brocante des P'tits Gorilles 15 August in Crest

The Brocante des P'tits Gorilles, the unmissable event of August 15th in Crest

In Crest, August 15th is not just a public holiday: it's the day of the big Brocante des P'tits Gorilles, one of the most anticipated events of the summer in the Drôme valley. Organized by the P'tits Gorilles association, this annual event takes over the streets of Crest's town center every year to offer bargain hunters and strollers a wealth of trinkets, furniture, clothes, and objects of all kinds.

The choice of August 15th is no coincidence: this mid-August holiday attracts a crowd of tourists and vacationers staying in the Drôme valley, between Die and Valence. The flea market takes advantage of this summer influx to create a lively and colorful market, where locals, professional dealers, and passing visitors mingle. The festive atmosphere of the Assumption Day, with its lively café terraces and often Provençal blue sky, contributes to making this flea market a memorable moment of conviviality.

Crest celebrates under the August sun

In August, Crest is at its best: the flowered terraces, the shaded alleys of the old town, and the terrace overlooking the Drôme offer an ideal setting for a day of bargain hunting under the Drôme sun. The Brocante des P'tits Gorilles generally extends over several streets in the center, creating a long exploration route between the stalls. Dealers and individuals meet there to offer the products of their collections, their car boot sales, and their auction house finds.

Les P'tits Gorilles are a dynamic local association well-established in Crest's community fabric. Their August 15th flea market has become an unmissable event over the years, eagerly awaited by regular exhibitors and the loyal public who return year after year to browse the stalls.
