Fête de Lardy

The Fête de Lardy: a town celebrating in the Essonne valley

Lardy (91510) is a rural commune in Essonne, nestled in the beautiful Juine valley, a tributary of the Essonne. This village of about 5,000 inhabitants retains its country character while benefiting from good accessibility from Île-de-France. Its annual town festival is a direct expression of this commitment to the values of living together and village conviviality.

Fête de la Musique: summer begins with song

The Fête de la Musique is one of the highlights of Lardy's summer calendar. The Lardy town hall organizes a festive concert every June 21st (or the closest Saturday) that brings together residents and families in the public spaces of the commune.

The 2025 edition offered a particularly appreciated program: at 6 p.m., students from the Contemporary Music Workshops of the Lardy Community Conservatory opened the evening with their performances. At 8:30 p.m., the show “Ladies First — B.B. King Tribute” paid homage to the legendary blues of the king of the twelve bars. Catering, provided by local businesses and food trucks, completed the friendly atmosphere of this musical evening.

Summer Activities: a complete program

Lardy offers a varied program of activities for residents in the summer. Under the compelling theme “The future begins today”, the commune organized activities, workshops, conferences, concerts, and laser shows, all free and open to everyone. This thematic programming demonstrates the municipal desire to offer events that make people think as much as they entertain.

Activities for children, organized during school holidays, keep young Lardy residents busy throughout the summer. These activities — sports, creative, or scientific — allow families to find quality pastimes without leaving the commune.

Salle du Pont de l'Hêtre: at the heart of festive life

The Salle du Pont de l'Hêtre is Lardy's multi-purpose hall, a versatile public facility that hosts associative events, celebration meals, and shows throughout the year. Its capacity and equipment make it an essential venue for Lardy's cultural and festive life. The Grande Rue and the public spaces in the town center complement this setup during major outdoor events.

Lardy celebrates for the end-of-year holidays

While summer is rich in activities, the end of the year is also a highlight in Lardy. In December and January, the commune offers festivities with light decorations, a Christmas market, and winter activities. These highlights confirm the commune's commitment to a policy of celebrations and activities throughout the year.

Lardy, between nature and heritage

The town of Lardy benefits from a remarkable natural environment: the Juine valley, the surrounding forests, and the agricultural landscapes offer a living environment that many Essonne residents envy. This natural heritage is subtly present in local activities, which often promote the discovery of nature and the local terroir.
