Nearly 400 exhibitors invade the town center for the great Assumption Day celebration
On August 15th, Aurec-sur-Loire transforms into an immense flea market with nearly 400 exhibitors taking over the streets and squares of the town center. Organized by the Comité des Fêtes GALA, this unmissable event in Haute-Loire combines treasure hunting, entertainment, and a festive atmosphere for the whole family: food trucks, a mini educational farm, and a lively ambiance.
Every August 15th, Aurec-sur-Loire lives to the rhythm of its grand summer flea market, one of the most important in Haute-Loire. The town center is entirely dedicated to the event: streets and squares are transformed into a vast flea market welcoming nearly 400 exhibitors from all over the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
With its hundreds of exhibitors, the Grande Brocante du 15 Août attracts thousands of visitors. You can find everything: antique furniture, tableware, books, vintage clothing, tools, toys, vinyl records, paintings, ceramics, silverware, and curiosities of all kinds. Professional flea market dealers rub shoulders with individuals clearing out their attics, ensuring a varied offering and prices for all budgets.
Beyond treasure hunting, the event offers numerous activities: food trucks located at various points along the route allow you to eat throughout the day. A mini educational farm delights the youngest, who can get close to the animals while parents hunt for treasures. The atmosphere is festive and relaxed, true to the spirit of Assumption Day.
Exhibitors pay a flat fee of €8 for the first four linear meters, then €2 per additional meter. This reasonable rate attracts both professionals and individuals. Booking a spot is recommended for this very popular event.
The Comité des Fêtes GALA, which also organizes the weekly Sunday flea market, puts all its energy into this flagship summer event. The Grande Brocante du 15 Août is now an anticipated event for bargain hunters and tourists passing through the magnificent Loire Valley.
