Result of the 32nd World Garbure Championship.
La Garburade in Oloron-Sainte-Marie is an emblematic event celebrating Béarn culture and gastronomy in Oloron, in the heart of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, south-west France. Every year it draws visitors from all over the country to the festive atmosphere in the town's picturesque streets. It is above all a tribute to garbure, a thick, nourishing soup typical of the region, made from seasonal vegetables, meat and sometimes Tarbais beans, especially appreciated in the colder months.
The event takes place on the first Saturday of September, with colourful parades showcasing local traditions, open-air musical entertainment and cooking demonstrations where renowned chefs share their secrets for the perfect garbure.
Visitors can also discover and taste regional specialities, from cheeses to sweet treats such as the famous gâteaux basques and fine Jurançon wines.
It is also an occasion for residents and visitors to gather, share convivial moments and celebrate the authenticity and cultural richness of Béarn.
Register your team for the 2026 championship; register for the Marché de Terroir.

Held on Saturday 5 September 2026. The organisers' home page announced online ticketing closing on Friday 4 September at 18:00 and ticket sales at the Jardin Public on the day. The site lists a 2026 programme, a Grand Marché du Terroir, teams, a jury and 'Les Tables de la Garbure'. The page headed the results of the '32nd World Garbure Championship'; that numbering was not reconciled with the 1993 start.
