Oulins All-Comers Fair - May 1st

The May 1st All-Comers Fair in Oulins

Every May 1st, the town of Oulins (28260) organizes its all-comers fair. The unique aspect of this event is its exceptional setting: exhibitors set up around the communal pond, by the water, in a unique rural landscape. Vehicles are allowed directly at the pitch, allowing exhibitors to work from their car or open trunk.

An Event for Individuals Only

The Oulins festival committee organizes this all-comers fair with a strict rule: only individuals are admitted as exhibitors. Flea market professionals are not allowed. This decision, made by the organizers, ensures a relaxed, authentic, and good-natured atmosphere, far from the impersonal stands of professionals. Visitors can thus find real attic treasures at reasonable prices, in a spirit of conviviality and sharing.

Organization and Registration

Exhibitors wishing to participate must register at the Oulins town hall (2, rue de la Mairie, 28260 Oulins), in person or by mail. It is also possible to send the form by email or download it from the town hall website. The rates are as follows:

• €4.50 per linear meter for Oulins residents
• €5 per linear meter for exhibitors from outside the town
• €7 for on-site registration on the day of the event, directly at the pond

Exhibitors arrive from 6 AM to 8 AM and leave from 6 PM.
