Festival Eco des Pins: Ecological Transition in Celebration
Created by the Communauté de communes Côte Landes Nature, the Festival Eco des Pins is an original event that combines ecological awareness, culture, and conviviality. Traveling by nature, the festival sets up each year in a different town in the region — from Lit-et-Mixe to Saint-Julien-en-Born, including Cap de l'Homy — to reach an ever-wider audience and anchor ecological transition in the daily lives of residents.
A Committed and Accessible Festival
Eco des Pins stands out for its founding values: total freeness, eco-responsibility, and family accessibility. All activities, shows, and workshops are offered at no cost to visitors, so that ecological transition is everyone's business, without financial barriers.
The Eco-Village at the Heart of the Festival
The eco-village is the beating heart of Eco des Pins. This space brings together associations, local businesses, and project leaders involved in ecological transition. Visitors discover inspiring local initiatives and meet the change-makers in the Côte Landes Nature region.

The Festival Eco des Pins offers a continuous program of activities throughout the day:
- Eco-designed carousel: a carousel powered by human energy, a fun symbol of the festival's eco-responsible approach
- Indiana course and slackline: outdoor physical activities for all ages
- Sciences Tour Truck: scientific activities and interactive experiments on the environment
- Repair café: collaborative repair workshop to give a second life to everyday objects
