Canidays
The first canine sports and family festival in France, at the Léry-Poses leisure center
About Canidays
Canidays: France's unmissable canine festival
Canidays is the first festive and sporting event in France entirely designed for dogs and their families. Launched in 2024 in partnership with Hill's, this unique festival takes place at the Léry-Poses leisure center, in the Eure department, within the Seine-Eure agglomeration territory in Normandy.
An exceptional natural setting
The Léry-Poses leisure center offers an exceptional 650-hectare natural setting between lakes and forests, located just 30 km from Évreux and Rouen. The site's three lakes allow for water sports and nature walks, while the vast green spaces host land-based sports activities. This preserved environment is ideal for an event dedicated to the well-being of animals and their owners.
Over 40 sports and fun activities
Canidays offers a program of over 40 activities to share with your dog: canicross, agility, cani-paddle, dog diving, ball pit, swimming lane, cani-orientation, and many other sports and fun activities. Experiential adventures include night walks, family walks in nature, and orientation courses with your four-legged companion.
A festive and informative village
The festive village brings together major players in the canine sector: food manufacturers, accessory makers, artisanal creators, and associations. Health and wellness areas provide veterinary advice and care for your pet. A conference series led by passionate experts offers advice on canine health, nutrition, training, and behavior. Spectacular demonstrations by working and sports dogs complete the program.
An event accessible to all
Canidays is open to all families, with or without a dog. The free activities in the village are accessible to all visitors: innovation tests, awareness workshops, grooming demonstrations, and meetings with experts. Sports and fun activities are accessible via a PASS allowing access to all activities during the three days of the festival.
Strong institutional support
The event benefits from the support of the Seine-Eure agglomeration, the Department of Eure, and major private partners like Hill's. This mobilization demonstrates the ambition to make Canidays a national reference event for dog lovers, combining sport, family, and shared enjoyment.
