The Périgord walnut in the spotlight
The Festival À La Noix celebrates the Périgord walnut, an emblematic product of the Dordogne, through a free village festival organized in La Dornac (24120) by the Compagnie l'Estomaquées. The event combines gastronomy, live performance, and local traditions in a friendly and accessible atmosphere for all.
A two-day program
The festival unfolds over two days with a varied program:
- Saturday: theatrical performances and concerts at various times in the commune, followed by bingo in the evening under the market hall (8:30 PM).
- Sunday: walnut market on the Route de la Cassagne from 10 AM to 6 PM, with local producers and artisans, theatre and concerts during the day, followed by a traditional dance at 6:30 PM under the market hall.

A refreshment stand and catering are available on site throughout the festival. The event is an opportunity to discover products made from Périgord walnuts — walnut oil, kernels, cakes, liqueur — in a festive and authentic atmosphere.
