Vernon Cherry Fair

The Vernon Cherry Fair: A Reinvented Norman Tradition

A true Vernon institution, the Cherry Fair is a popular festival that annually celebrates the richness of the Norman terroir and the conviviality of large open-air events. Its name evokes the beautiful cherries of the region, grown in the orchards of the hills surrounding the medieval city of Vernon, bathed by the Seine.

A Festive and Gourmet Event

The Vernon Cherry Fair brings together local producers and artisans in the heart of the pedestrian town center. You will find stalls of seasonal fruits and vegetables, Norman cheeses, cider and calvados, honey, jams, and artisanal charcuterie. Entertainment for children and adults, carousels, concerts, and itinerant shows liven up the streets and squares of Vernon for several days. The festive atmosphere and the historic setting of the town center make this fair a moment of conviviality particularly appreciated by residents and tourists.

For the 2026 edition, the Vernon Cherry Fair will be held from Friday, May 22 to Monday, May 25 in the pedestrian town center. These four days of festivities will allow families to enjoy a varied program combining a producer market, cultural entertainment, an open-air concert, and a funfair.
