Car boot sale & Craft Market — Creysse (Saint-Jean Festival)

Car boot sale and craft market for Saint-Jean in Creysse

Creysse, a charming medieval village perched on the heights of the Dordogne valley, annually organizes its Saint-Jean festival, of which the car boot sale and craft market are eagerly awaited highlights. The Festival Committee animates this friendly gathering which brings together second-hand exhibitors and local artisans in a festive and authentic atmosphere, true to Quercy tradition.

A festive program around the Saint-Jean bonfire

The Saint-Jean festival in Creysse is much more than just a car boot sale. In the late afternoon, a DJ takes over to liven up the evening from 6:30 PM. A shared meal is then offered at 7:30 PM, bringing together locals and visitors around a festive table. The highlight of the night remains the Saint-Jean bonfire, a centuries-old tradition that sets the village ablaze in a warm and festive light, recalling the ancient rites of the summer solstice.

Craft market: the creators of Quercy

In addition to the car boot sale, the Creysse craft market offers a showcase for local artisans and creators. Potters, jewelers, leatherworkers, weavers, soap makers, and other craftspeople present their creations in a spirit of promoting local know-how. This marriage of popular flea market and quality craftsmanship gives the event an original and attractive identity in the landscape of events in the Lot.
