The multidisciplinary and itinerant festival of North-Isère
Created in 2013 in Saint-Jean-de-Bournay by the association JASPIR, the Festival 100 Détours is a multidisciplinary and itinerant event that takes over the villages of North-Isère each year. For about ten days in September, it offers more than 25 shows mixing theater, music, street arts, circus, puppetry, storytelling, clowning, cinema, and visual arts. Accessible to all thanks to numerous free or pay-what-you-want events, the festival attracts around 2,500 spectators per edition.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The 13th edition of the Festival 100 Détours will take place in September 2026 in the villages of North-Isère. The festival will continue its mission of cultural dissemination in rural areas with a multidisciplinary program mixing theater, music, street arts, circus, puppetry, storytelling, and cinema, in a convivial spirit accessible to all.
The Festival 100 Détours returns for its 13th edition in September 2026 in the towns of North-Isère around Saint-Jean-de-Bournay. Still driven by the JASPIR association and its volunteers, the festival will continue to invest new places and villages to offer a rich and accessible multidisciplinary program.
True to its itinerant and participatory identity, this new edition will once again mix theater, music, street arts, circus, puppetry, storytelling, clowning, humor, visual arts, and cinema, with a particular focus on emerging local artists and original creations. Many shows will be offered with free admission or pay-what-you-want.
