Festival des Monts de la Balle
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Les Monts de la Balle
30th Edition - June 7 and 8, 2025 - Theme: Wood
The Les Monts de la Balle festival celebrated its 30th anniversary on June 7 and 8, 2025, during the Pentecost weekend. To mark this anniversary, the organizers commissioned a professional artist designer who transformed the village with a scenography entirely made of wooden structures, offering a unique visual and poetic journey.
About fifteen street arts companies took over the streets and squares of Verrières-en-Forez, offering circus, street theater, music, and unique performances to delight young and old alike. Cirque Plaisir set up its tent from May 28 to June 8, offering performances throughout the week leading up to the festival.
In the lead-up to the weekend, the PréAmballes spread performances to the municipalities of the Loire Forez agglomeration, with seven decentralized shows allowing more people to discover street arts closer to home.
