The Tarare Kermesse Car Boot Sale in May

On Saturday 16 May 2026, Tarare (69170) hosts its kermesse car boot sale. In the tradition of end-of-school-year fairs or community kermesses, this event brings together families, neighbours and bargain hunters around stalls filled with clothes, toys, books, trinkets and various objects. The day blends the joyful spirit of the kermesse – games, activities, buffet – with the excitement of the car boot sale, creating a unique atmosphere of sharing and conviviality in the heart of Tarare.

Tarare, a Textile Town of Haut-Beaujolais

Tarare is a town in the north of the Rhône département, nestled in the Turdine valley on the edge of the Beaujolais massif. Long famous for its textile industry – notably tulle and silk muslin fabrics that made it renowned across Europe in the 19th century – the town has reinvented itself while preserving its industrial and architectural heritage. Tarare is also known for its sporting, cultural and school associations that energetically animate social life throughout the year, of which this spring kermesse is a part.
