A festival dedicated to families
The Drôles de Mômes Festival celebrates performing arts for young audiences and families. For nearly 20 years, this festival has offered a summer weekend on the shores of Lake Montendre, combining artistic discoveries, wonder, and intergenerational moments of sharing.
Performing arts in all its forms
The program explores all facets of performing arts: theater in various forms (storytelling, clowning, burlesque, absurd, poetic), street performances, puppetry, juggling, electro and contemporary music. Artists from Toulouse, Paris, and even Spain bring their original and innovative creations.
By the lake
The natural setting of Lake Montendre offers an ideal environment for hosting these open-air performances. Families can enjoy the green spaces, picnic by the water, and attend shows in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Workshops and participation
Beyond the shows, the festival offers theater workshops for children, opportunities for exchange with artists, and participatory activities. Shows for young audiences are offered at a reduced price (€5 on Saturday), with advantageous family packages.
