Circus and performing arts festival in Le Bugue, Périgord Noir
Since 2002, the BriKaBrak Festival transforms the small town of Le Bugue into a vast artistic playground every Pentecost. Organized by the association Point Org, this festival has become a must-attend event for performing arts in Périgord Noir.
The festival offers about thirty performances mixing circus, theater, puppetry, dance, music, and street arts. The shows take place in various locations in the village: under a big top, in the streets, in the squares, and in the parks. The program is aimed at all audiences, from toddlers to adults.
During the week, the festival welcomes over 1,300 children from schools, nurseries, and leisure centers for dedicated shows. The weekend is open to the general public with continuous performances. BriKaBrak is a true cultural oasis in a rural setting, bringing performing arts to life in a region far from major cities.
The 23rd edition of the BriKaBrak Festival takes place from May 18 to 24, 2026, in Le Bugue, Dordogne, around the Pentecost weekend. Placed under the sign of discovery and sharing, this edition offers a new program of circus, theater, puppets, dance, music, and street arts for all audiences, in the streets, squares, and under marquees of the village.
