About Saint Martin's Day Festival
St. Martin's Day has long signified the end of the agricultural year in Ajoie. Villagers traditionally gather to taste the new wine and celebrate with special foods. The festival’s name evokes both the saint’s feast (Nov 11) and local harvest culture. The event is imbued with the idea of “the summer of St. Martin”, symbolizing a final warm period and communal festivity before winter.
