Décroissance, le Festival
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Décroissance
2nd Edition — July 2025
After the success of the first edition in 2024, Décroissance, le Festival returned from July 25 to 27, 2025, to Saint-Maixent-l'École. The program was structured around the five founding thematic axes: Making with our hands, (Re)feeling, Stopping, Thinking, and Playing.
The program combined concerts, conferences-debates with degrowth thinkers, practical workshops (repair, cooking, crafts, low-tech), shows, and festive events, all with free and conscious pricing.
