Festiv'été: Summer Celebration in Bourgoin-Jallieu

Festiv'été is the summer events program of the City of Bourgoin-Jallieu, in Nord-Isère. Launched in 2020, this event has quickly become a must-attend for residents and visitors of the Porte de l'Isère (CAPI) agglomeration community. From June to September, the municipality organizes over 240 100% free events in the city's parks, gardens, and squares, offering everyone the opportunity to fully enjoy the summer.

Iconic Events Throughout the Summer

Festiv'été is structured around several highlights that have become classics over the years:

• Ciné-été: Open-air cinema screenings held in municipal parks and gardens, featuring films for all audiences shown at dusk. Seven screenings are spread from July to the end of August in different neighborhoods of the city.
• Sportez-vous bien!: A program of sports and wellness activities accessible to all levels. Yoga, fitness, hiking, rugby initiation, team sports, and water activities are offered throughout the summer in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
• Les Bals Carnot: Every Thursday evening in July and August, from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM, Place Carnot transforms into an open-air dance floor. These free popular dances, led by orchestras and DJs, have become one of the most appreciated moments of the Bourgoin-Jallieu summer.
• Sundays Picnic with Music: Several Sundays from July to September, families and friends gather in the city's parks for picnics accompanied by concerts and live music in the open air.

Neighborhood Parties and Family Day

Festiv'été makes a point of investing in all neighborhoods of Bourgoin-Jallieu. Neighborhood parties are organized in Champfleuri and Champaret, creating moments of conviviality and sharing close to the residents. The Fête des Familles (Family Day), a highlight of the end of summer, takes place at the Parc des Lilattes and on the renovated playgrounds of La Grive, Champfleuri, and Champaret, with creative workshops, giant games, and shows for children.

La Fête du Pays Berjallien

A flagship event of the program, the Fête du Pays Berjallien (Celebration of the Bourgoin-Jallieu Region) brings together thousands of participants every year on Place Carnot for a large communal meal followed by a popular dance and a fireworks display. This traditional festival celebrates the identity and heritage of Bourgoin-Jallieu in a warm and festive atmosphere.

An Event Rooted in the City and its Green Spaces

The Festiv'été events take place in the most beautiful green spaces of the commune: the Parc des Lilattes, the Parc Frédéric Chopin in Champfleuri, Place Carnot, the Esplanade de la Folatière, and many other sites. This decentralized program allows for the (re)discovery of the city from a new perspective, enjoying its natural spaces and urban heritage. Each edition brings its share of novelties: botanical walks, street art tours, electric bike outings, Aqua'Pop sessions at the Rajon swimming pool, and many other surprises.
