Enfantillages Festival

A Free Festival Dedicated to Children

The Enfantillages Festival is a major cultural event in Valbonne Sophia Antipolis, entirely dedicated to the young audience. Organized every year in November by the Town of Valbonne, it offers a free program of live performances for children aged 2 and up. The festival is part of the celebration of Children's Rights, providing every young spectator with free access to culture and the performing arts.

A Multidisciplinary Program for All Ages

The richness of the Enfantillages Festival lies in the diversity of its program. All fields of performing arts are represented: theater, puppets, circus, clown, contemporary dance, storytelling, magic, and music. Professional regional, national, and international companies present creations adapted to each age group, from toddlers aged 2 and up to pre-teens. The festival also offers children's cinema screenings at a reduced price.

Le Pré des Arts, the Festival's Hub

The performances of the Enfantillages Festival take place at Le Pré des Arts, the cultural space of Valbonne Sophia Antipolis. This artistic venue hosts the shows under professional conditions, offering children a true spectator experience. In addition to the performances, creative workshops and fun activities are offered, turning each day into a celebration for families.

Children's Rights Day

The highlight of the festival, Children's Rights Day, brings together families and children for a special program of workshops for ages 0-12. This festive day, traditionally held on the last Saturday of the festival, offers artistic creation workshops, fun activities, and short performances, in a spirit of sharing and celebrating childhood.

A Strong Cultural Commitment to Youth

The Enfantillages Festival embodies the commitment of the Town of Valbonne Sophia Antipolis to access to culture for the youngest. The free nature of the shows (upon reservation) ensures that all children, without distinction, can discover the performing arts. This event contributes to the artistic awakening of children in the region and affirms the place of young audience culture in the municipal cultural policy.
