View eventsThe Jura is easy to explore: journeys between the vineyards of Arbois and Poligny, the lake district around Clairvaux, the plains around Dole and the Haut-Jura towards Saint-Claude and Les Rousses generally take less than an hour. A weekend is enough to combine an outdoor activity on Friday or Saturday with a cultural or food-focused visit on Sunday.
Many activities are free, particularly markets, antiques and second-hand markets, village festivals and walks organised by local associations. For concerts, festivals and guided tours, remember to check the price and ticket link provided in each event listing. This page updates automatically and displays events for the coming Friday to Sunday.
A weekend in the Jura often centres on a highlight — a festival, a village celebration or a car boot sale — with a walk or a food stop added along the way. This page lists events taking place on Friday, Saturday or Sunday; the Jura events calendar then lets you explore the whole week, while today's page caters for last-minute plans.
Around the vineyards, between Arbois et Poligny , weekends in September and October revolve around grape harvests and wine cellar open days. On the plains, around Dole and Mont-sous-Vaudrey , antiques and second-hand markets and town-centre activities take centre stage. In the Haut-Jura, from Champagnole to Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux , weekends are best spent outdoors: lakes, waterfalls and trails.
Ideas by theme: concerts and festivals, antiques markets and car boot sales, local food and heritage festivals, family outings, walks and heritage, all categories.
Is your event taking place this weekend but not listed yet? Publish it in just a few minutes : it will appear here, on its town or village page and on the Jura map.
This page focuses on weekend leisure time: two or three days for family outings, sightseeing, browsing a market or dancing. The selection runs from Friday to Sunday evening and includes events already under way, such as exhibitions and festivals. It's the go-to page on Friday lunchtime to plan your weekend, or on Saturday morning to find something to do on Sunday.
Wondering where to go in the Jura this weekend ? Start with your local area using the location filter, then widen your search to 20 or 30 km. And if the weather turns, select the « Indoors » filter or open rainy-day outings.
The selection brings together events from Friday to Sunday evening, including those already under way: festivals, markets, concerts, walks and family outings.
Browse the Families and Nature categories for workshops, children's shows, farms and child-friendly walks.
Each main town in the Jura (Lons-le-Saunier, Dole, Champagnole, Saint-Claude, Poligny, Arbois...) has its own dedicated « this weekend » page.
Every Monday at midnight, the page automatically switches to the following weekend.
