Le Grand Bazar du Lerchenberg

Le Grand Bazar du Lerchenberg: Mulhouse's Spring Event

Every year in May, the residential neighborhood of Lerchenberg, located in the southeast of Mulhouse, comes alive to host one of the city's most anticipated popular events: Le Grand Bazar. This friendly and family-oriented event, organized by the Association Le Lerch, brings together dozens of private exhibitors each year to offer their attic treasures in the green setting of Parc du Lerchenberg, in the heart of the neighborhood.

A Car Boot Sale Rooted in Neighborhood Tradition

An heir to the traditional Lerchenberg flea market, Le Grand Bazar has been renamed to reconnect with its origins and the spirit of neighborhood celebration that once animated the streets of this residential area. Lerchenberg is one of Mulhouse's most populous and dynamic neighborhoods, with a rich associative life. This day is an opportunity for residents to clear out their cellars and attics, to exchange, to hunt for bargains, and to gather in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

A Rich Program for the Whole Family

Beyond the traditional car boot sale and flea market, Le Grand Bazar offers several complementary activities each year, making it much more than just a flea market event:

• Plant Market: A stall offering many varieties of plants and seeds, ideal for filling your garden or balcony as the warmer weather arrives.
• Bookstall: Held as part of the Printemps du livre du Lerchenberg, for lovers of second-hand books and culture.
• On-site Catering: Grilled sausages, fries, homemade desserts, and Alsatian tarte flambées, as well as a refreshment stand offering coffee, pastries, and drinks.

Practical Information

Admission is completely free for visitors. Pitches for private exhibitors are offered at €15 for 4 linear meters. Registration is by phone at 06 45 94 99 35 or by email at [email protected]. The event runs from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with setup possible from dawn for exhibitors.

Le Grand Bazar takes place in Parc du Lerchenberg, at 11 rue du Cercle, 68200 Mulhouse. The neighborhood is easily accessible by public transport from the center of Mulhouse. Parking is available on surrounding streets, as well as in neighborhood parking lots.

An Event Supported by a Neighborhood Association

The Association Le Lerch is an active association that animates the neighborhood year-round with cultural, sporting, and festive events. Le Grand Bazar is one of its annual highlights, driven by dedicated volunteers who invest themselves to make this day a popular and inclusive celebration, open to all residents of Mulhouse and neighboring towns.
