The Little Paris Festival
A costumed Garden Party in the Wesserling Park Gardens
On July 19th, the Wesserling Park Gardens will celebrate the 19th century with a grand costumed Garden Party inspired by Wesserling's "Little Paris".
During the golden age of the Alsatian textile odyssey, the Wesserling Manufactory brought life to the entire valley thanks to its dynamism, its remarkable heritage, and its pleasure gardens. Nicknamed "Little Paris", the site hosted receptions, strolls, and social gatherings in a refined setting.
For one afternoon, the Gardens will showcase the 19th-century art of living. With family or friends, bring out your finest outfits, parasols, hats, and period costumes to stroll through the gardens and enjoy entertainment inspired by the leisure activities of yesteryear.
