Festival 100 Détours: Culture at the Heart of North-Isère Villages

Since 2013, the Festival 100 Détours has been a must-attend event on the cultural scene of North-Isère. Born from the energy and passion of the JASPIR team (Jeunesse Animation et Spectacles Pour Investir la Rue) and its volunteers, this multidisciplinary and itinerant festival has established itself as a unifying event that irrigates an entire rural territory by offering quality shows accessible to the greatest number.

An Itinerant and Participatory Concept

The uniqueness of the Festival 100 Détours lies in its itinerant nature. Each edition is different as the festival chooses to invest new places and villages around Saint-Jean-de-Bournay, allowing everyone to discover culture in all its forms. The festival stops in several towns in North-Isère: Saint-Jean-de-Bournay, Culin, Nantoin, Artas, Commelle, Villefontaine, Bourgoin-Jallieu and La Côte-Saint-André, transforming village squares, community halls, and natural spaces into ephemeral stages.

A Rich and Eclectic Program

Over ten days in September, the festival offers more than 25 shows covering a wide range of artistic disciplines: theater, music, street arts, circus, puppetry, storytelling, clowning, humor, visual arts, performances, and cinema. The program skillfully blends shows for young audiences, general audiences, and concerts, giving pride of place to both emerging local artists and established national artists.

A Committed and Accessible Festival

True to its values of popular education and cultural democratization, the Festival 100 Détours offers numerous events with free admission or pay-what-you-want, making culture accessible to all audiences. The prices for paid shows remain deliberately modest, ranging from 4 to 25 euros depending on the event.

An Eco-Citizen Approach

The festival is committed to a responsible and supportive approach. It favors local partnerships with volunteers and associations in the area, sources local and artisanal products from regional producers, implements waste sorting and composting, uses reusable cups, and encourages carpooling and public transport.

La Fabrique JASPIR: The Beating Heart of the Festival

The Festival 100 Détours is supported by the association JASPIR, founded in 2002, which manages La Fabrique JASPIR, a place for exchange, artistic creation, and training located in Saint-Jean-de-Bournay. A true cultural third place, La Fabrique offers artistic workshops, shows, creation residencies, and professional training throughout the year. It is from this permanent dynamic that the Festival 100 Détours is born each year, the result of collective work between professionals and passionate volunteers.
