At the end of the nineteenth century, Chalon-sur-Saône and Grammont were the two largest Eastern horse fairs, with a concentration on the second which went from 400 to 800 hp by year.

At Grammont, in the early twentieth century, fairs tools and seeds that correspond to periods of intense work (plowing and haymaking) disappeared.

World War II was due to the horse park with massive requisitions of the German army for the needs of the Russian front.

[clarification needed] In 1976, the population of Grammont gave back a second wind at the fair to make it a privileged meeting place for the rural world.

The fair features demonstrations of agricultural equipment and farm animals, musical performances and a market of regional produce.
