Zik & Z'Arts Festival

2025 Edition — The Pâtis in Celebration

In July 2025, the Zik & Z'Arts Festival returned to the enchanting setting of the Pâtis de Tonnerre for its fourth edition. True to its original spirit, the event brought together French music scene artists and a village of visual artists over three days, in an atmosphere of popular celebration and tribute to the memory of Baptiste Chevreau.

Concerts and Live Arts

The 2025 music program featured, each evening from late afternoon, concerts by singers and bands from the French scene, mixing chanson à textes, folk, and world music. As with every edition, local and regional artists shared the stage with national headliners, in the spirit of openness and discovery that characterizes the festival.

The Artists' Village

From Saturday morning to Sunday evening, the artists' village animated the paths of the Pâtis. Painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramists, and graffiti artists exhibited and created in public, welcoming visitors in a lively dialogue between the works and the public. Artistic associations from the Yonne — including Arts en Tonnerrois — were present alongside professional artists from the entire Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.

A Festival Rooted in its Territory

Driven by the volunteers of the Association Le Kiosque à Baptiste, the 2025 edition confirmed the festival's place in the cultural landscape of the Yonne, with free entry, catering provided by local associations, and a family-friendly, warm atmosphere under the remarkable trees of the Pâtis.
