Spring

Asperges de Côte-d'Or: Green and white asparagus from growers such as those at Ruffey-lès-Échirey reach the Halles de Dijon in spring, and the season runs until the end of May.
Jambon persillé for Easter: Ham set in parsley jelly is made across Côte-d'Or and the Dijon area for Easter, a Burgundian custom that local sources date back to the 14th century.

Cassis harvest: The Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrant is picked in the Hautes-Côtes in July, the fruit behind the crème de cassis that Dijon liqueur houses have made since 1841.
Summer Sundays at the Halles: From late June the Halles de Dijon turn into a brunch room on Sundays, with a different Dijon chef cooking each week alongside the market's producers.
