Fête de Clamart
The big annual popular festival of the town of Clamart
About Fête de Clamart
The Fête de Clamart, a popular summer event
Every year, the Fête de Clamart transforms the town into an open-air festive space. Organized by the municipality of Clamart (92140), this popular celebration is one of the highlights of the summer agenda in the Hauts-de-Seine. It brings together residents of all ages and backgrounds in an atmosphere of sharing and conviviality around shows, activities, music, and flavors from around the world.
The Fête des Petits Pois, a Clamart tradition
At the heart of the Fête de Clamart is the famous Fête des Petits Pois (Pea Festival), an event that takes its name from the town's historic market gardening production. Once a major producer of peas renowned throughout the Parisian region, Clamart chose this vegetable symbol to name its popular festival, making this modest legume the joyful emblem of a town proud of its roots.
The Fête des Petits Pois is reinvented each year around a different theme. It hosts street performances featuring jugglers, acrobats, dancers, puppeteers, comedians, musicians, and circus artists who take over the town's squares and streets. Participatory workshops — archery, face painting, wooden games, artistic graffiti — complete the program for families and children.
A forest town celebrating
Clamart's uniqueness lies in its exceptional natural setting. Bordered by the Clamart state forest, one of the largest in the Hauts-de-Seine with its 350 hectares of oaks and beeches, the town offers a unique setting for the festivities. Some of the festival's activities extend to the edge of the forest, blending popular culture and preserved nature just a few kilometers from Paris.
A program for everyone
The Fête de Clamart systematically offers a program designed for all audiences:
- Street Arts: national and international companies, theatrical processions, artistic installations in public spaces
- Music: free concerts in the town squares, open stages, DJ sets
- Youth Activities: creative workshops, face painting, giant games, discovery trails
- Grand Parade: festive procession through the neighborhoods with the participation of local associations
- Gastronomy: food trucks and stands offering world cuisines
The 2025 edition: Japan in the spotlight
The Fête des Petits Pois 2025 was held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, with Japan as the main theme. The Village des Petits Pois was transformed into a showcase of Japanese culture from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. On the program: a giant karaoke on anime and manga themes, artistic face painting stands inspired by Japanese characters, food trucks specializing in Japanese cuisine, a Grand Parade at 8:25 p.m., and a Tokyo Party hosted by a DJ until the end of the evening. A popular success that brought together thousands of Clamartois and visitors from neighboring towns.
The 2026 edition
The Fête de Clamart 2026 is scheduled for spring-summer 2026, true to its tradition of offering a new theme each year. The full program will be announced on the official website of the Town of Clamart. The event will continue to occupy the Place de la Mairie, the Parc de la Maison Blanche, and the main streets of the town for a new colorful, festive, and open-to-all edition.
