Fête de Pantin

Pantin, la fête ! The town's big popular celebration

Every June, the town of Pantin organizes its big annual festival called Pantin, la fête !, a weekend of popular and family festivities that brings together all the residents of the town in several emblematic spaces. The Parc du 19-Mars-1962, the Mail Charles-de-Gaulle, the Quai de l'Aisne, and the Place de la Pointe are transformed for the occasion into a huge festive space open to all.

The Fête de Pantin is distinguished by its intergenerational character and its desire to bring together all Pantinois, from the youngest to the oldest, in a collective celebration of their town. Each edition is built around a theme that highlights the residents themselves: in 2025, the theme Toi ! paid tribute to the diversity and human richness of the town, through the photographic project Pantin, the town of 60,000 faces.

The leisure center parade

One of the most anticipated moments of the Fête de Pantin is the parade of the leisure centers, which parades through the streets of the town every Saturday afternoon. Hundreds of costumed children, supervised by their leaders, march to music through the streets of Pantin before joining the Parc du 19-Mars-1962 for a big collective celebration. This colorful and festive parade is one of the symbols of the Fête de Pantin and brings together families and onlookers on the sidewalks in an atmosphere of shared joy.

On Saturday evening, the Place de la Pointe takes over with an evening of concerts and dances led by local and guest artists, continuing the celebration until nightfall in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

The Toddler Village

On Sunday morning, the Toddler Village opens its doors at the Parc du 19-Mars-1962 with its ecological rides, educational farm, and play areas for the little ones. This enchanted family space allows parents and babies to enjoy a festive morning in a safe and friendly environment.

On Sunday afternoon, the children's market animates the Quai de l'Aisne: children sell their toys, books, and clothes in a flea market entirely dedicated to them, developing their sense of commerce and initiative in a welcoming atmosphere.

The organic wine fair

For several years, the Fête de Pantin has hosted the organic wine fair at the Théâtre du Fil de l'eau, bringing together about thirty organic winegrowers who offer their vintages for tasting. This fair, which welcomes informed amateurs and the curious, contributes to the festive and convivial dimension of the festival by offering a wine break in a cultural setting. It also reflects Pantin's commitments to sustainable development and responsible consumption.

Pantin, a town of culture and creation

The Fête de Pantin is part of a particularly active municipal cultural life. Pantin is home to La Dynamo de Banlieues Bleues (jazz festival), the Théâtre du Fil de l'eau, numerous dance and theater companies, as well as an emerging scene for visual arts and contemporary music. The Fête de Pantin mobilizes these artistic resources to offer residents a high-quality festival, in line with the town's cultural ambitions.
