2025 Edition: Escape!
The Chap à Chap festival returned to Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard from July 10 to 13, 2025, for a new edition focused on escape and conviviality. For four days, the town center and its surroundings were transformed into a vast playground of festivities and live performance, welcoming professional companies and music groups from across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and beyond.
The program featured more than twenty shows in the streets and under tents: contemporary circus, burlesque theater, clowning, puppetry, magic, and itinerant performances took over the village squares and alleys. Young audiences enjoyed dedicated shows and artistic discovery workshops — circus initiation, visual arts, and fairground games — led by professional artists.
The evenings were marked by two eclectic concerts featuring about ten musical groups with varied styles: gypsy jazz, swing, afro-funk, French chanson, and world music. The festival also offered an artisan market, a catering area with local products, and a friendly campsite for festival-goers coming from afar.
True to its philosophy of accessibility, the entire program was offered at free and conscious pricing, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the festival.
