Car boot sale and Garden clear-out of Ascension in Solomiac

The Ascension car boot sale and garden clear-out in Solomiac

Every year on the weekend of Ascension, the Foyer Rural de Solomiac organizes its car boot sale and garden clear-out in the Place de la Halle and the Place du Foyer Rural. This double event attracts bargain hunters and gardeners from Lomagne gersoise: on one side, the car boot sale stands offer crockery, trinkets, clothes, toys, and everyday objects; on the other, the garden clear-out allows you to acquire plants, gardening tools, outdoor furniture, and garden decorations at second-hand prices.

The Ascension festivities in Solomiac: a complete festive program

The car boot sale is part of the complete program of the Ascension festivities organized by the Foyer Rural and the municipality of Solomiac. The day before, an animated aperitif at 8 p.m. opens the festivities, followed by a convivial meal and a dance evening. On Ascension Day, a pétanque competition at 2:30 p.m., entertainment for children, and a musette ball with an orchestra complete the program. The morning car boot sale thus offers a pleasant prelude to a full day of village festivities.

Solomiac, bastide of Lomagne gersoise

Solomiac is a typical Gascon bastide in Lomagne, this region of rolling hills and sunflower fields that occupies the east of the Gers department. The village retains its central covered square and its traditional market hall, places of gathering and trade since the Middle Ages. Located between Mauvezin and Sarrant, Solomiac offers a preserved rural setting where the Gascon art of living continues through the seasons and village festivals.

An original garden clear-out for outdoor enthusiasts

The garden clear-out formula is an appreciated feature of this event: it allows gardeners to find plants, tools, garden furniture, pots and planters, outdoor decorations, and outdoor accessories at second-hand prices. It is the ideal opportunity to equip yourself at a lower cost as summer approaches, while enjoying the festive and warm atmosphere of Ascension in Solomiac.
