Festi'Coccinelle

19th Edition — Festi'Coccinelle Goes to Sea (July 2025)

For its 19th edition, Festi'Coccinelle plunged on July 22nd and 23rd, 2025, into the fascinating and mysterious world of the deep sea. Under the theme "Festi'Coccinelle Goes to Sea", children were invited to explore the sea in all its facets: its exceptional biodiversity, its myths and legends, and the environmental challenges it faces today.

The Jardin de l'Octroi transformed into a vast ocean of discoveries: over twenty fun and socio-educational workshops came to life on site, supervised by animators and volunteers from the Ligue de l'Enseignement de l'Yonne. Children could draw marine creatures, learn dances inspired by the movement of waves, make instruments from natural materials, or participate in quizzes about abyssal fauna.

The Théâtre de Verdure hosted themed shows—concerts, theater, and acrobatic performances—directly linked to the marine world, presented by professional companies. The Scène Champignon and the Scène de l'Octroi, in turn, allowed for multiple simultaneous artistic offerings, giving each child the freedom to build their own journey through this ocean of culture.
