Barr, a charming town nestled at the foot of the Vosges on the Alsace Wine Route, has held a prominent place in the regional wine landscape for centuries. Surrounded by renowned hillsides - the Kirchberg de Barr Grand Cru ranks among Alsace's most prestigious - the town has developed over generations an identity deeply linked to viticulture and the rhythm of the wine seasons.
The highlight of the Barr harvest festival lies in its great parade, which brings together several hundred participants and dozens of decorated floats each year, crossing the town's streets in an explosion of colour and creativity.

The election of the Harvest Queen constitutes another traditional highlight of the Barr festival, perpetuating a folk custom widespread in many wine-growing communes of Alsace and France.
The Barr harvest festival traditionally takes place in autumn, generally in October, at a time when the actual grape harvest is largely completed in the surrounding vineyard.

The harvest festival offers an excellent opportunity to discover Barr and its rich heritage beyond the festivities alone. The town itself deserves a stroll, with its historic centre and immediate proximity to Mont Sainte-Odile.
