Fête de Livry-Gargan

The Fête de Livry-Gargan: the green festival of the 93

Livry-Gargan, with its 44,000 inhabitants and its numerous parks and forests, is often presented as the greenest municipality in Seine-Saint-Denis. This natural identity deeply influences its festive life: the Fête de Livry-Gargan is a popular celebration that joyfully combines traditional family activities with environmental and nature awareness.

Two main events structure the festive life of Livry-Gargan: the Spring Festival in April and the summer activities that extend throughout the summer. These events are supported by the municipality in partnership with the Comité des Fêtes de Livry-Gargan, a dynamic local association that unites volunteer efforts around the town's festive life.

The Spring Festival at Parc Lefèvre

Parc Lefèvre (60 avenue du Consul Général Nordling) is the natural setting for the Spring Festival, organized every year in April. This generous green space hosts a day of free and eco-responsible activities, from 11 am to 6 pm, open to all ages.

Children aged 3 to 5 enjoy an Easter egg hunt followed by a visit to the educational farm. Children aged 6-10 can try creative workshops, sports challenges, a carousel ride, and a reading session organized by the media library. Interactive workshops on water issues—aquatic and semi-aquatic species, resource management—are alongside activities on eco-grazing with the park's sheep, bees, and natural gardening.

A festival that raises awareness about nature

The specificity of the Fête de Livry-Gargan is to combine popular celebration with environmental education. Interactive stands offer games to discover local fauna, plant repotting workshops, introductions to creating insect drinking fountains, and beekeeping demonstrations. These educational activities, appreciated by families, make the festival a moment of discovery and learning as much as entertainment.

Festive summer and local concerts

In the summer, Livry-Gargan offers a program of outdoor concerts and activities that complements the Spring Festival. Local music associations, the conservatory, and regional artists liven up the parks and public spaces as part of the summer concerts and the Fête de la Musique. The tradition of Summer Concerts in Livry-Gargan is part of a coherent municipal program that makes the town a recognized cultural player in the department.
