Foire des Vendanges de Mazères

Looking back at the 2025 Grape Harvest Fair

On September 14, 2025, the fortified town of Mazères hosted its traditional Grape Harvest Fair. The streets of the old town once again echoed with the buzz of car boot sale exhibitors, while the Church square hosted a fine exhibition of vintage vehicles—tractors and classic cars side by side. The grape and apple pressing demonstrations, much appreciated by families and children, recalled the skills of previous generations.

The local producers' market offered wines, cheeses, and specialties from the Ariège region. The midday meal, served from 12:00 PM with a steak-fries-ice cream menu, brought together locals and visitors from all over the Ariège Lauragais. The day ended with the traditional tractor parade at 3:30 PM, greeted by applause from the public.
