Roppenheim Kirb and Flea Market

The Kirb, traditional Alsatian patron saint festival

The Kirb (or Kilbe) is the traditional patron saint festival in Alsace, equivalent to the Messti in southern Bas-Rhin. In Roppenheim, a border village with Germany in the Outre-Forêt region, the Kirb is a major event that takes place over two days with fairground rides, music, gastronomy and flea market.

Roppenheim, from village to outlet

Roppenheim is best known for its The Style Outlets brand center, but the village retains a strong rural identity. The Kirb flea market is proof: visitors browse Alsatian furniture, crockery, ornaments and collectibles in the streets of the historic village, just steps from the shopping center.
