Intro

A festival with a long tradition that illuminates the watchmaking city.

Three days of music and concerts, street artists wandering through the crowd, three days and two nights with welcoming guinguettes. The "Horlofolies" watch festival has deep watchmaking roots. This great popular festival was born in a period of economic hardship, during a recession that affected the entire planet, 80 years ago. Like the city's architecture, the braderie owes its durability to the links it has forged with industrial and economic history. Now it is also involved in the recognition of the UNESCO World Heritage. Festivities in a popular spirit offering entertainment and free concerts.
