Fête de Sannois

The Fête de Sannois, on the heights of the vineyard

The Fête de Sannois takes place on the heights of this town in the Val-d'Oise, where the historic mills overlook the Argenteuil plain and where the municipal vineyard produces its precious summer grapes. This panoramic and picturesque setting gives the Sannois festival a special flavor that few events in the Val-d'Oise can match.

With its approximately 26,000 inhabitants, Sannois has a dense network of associations and numerous cultural resources that enrich the festival's program each year. Sports, cultural, and leisure associations from Sannois mobilize to offer a festive and friendly day for all residents.

The municipal vineyard, star of the Sannois summer

The municipal vineyard of Sannois is one of the town's most appreciated features. This vineyard, replanted on the region's former wine-growing slopes, produces grapes each autumn that are vinified into AOC Île-de-France white wine. In summer, during the Fête de Sannois, the vineyard is in full growth, and its well-laden rows of vines offer a bucolic spectacle greatly appreciated by visitors.

Vineyard-themed activities may be offered during the festival: guided tours of the vines, grape juice tastings for children, lectures on the wine-growing history of Sannois and the region. These activities allow residents and visitors to discover or rediscover this unique heritage.

Musical program and shows

The musical programming of the Fête de Sannois follows the tradition of popular summer festivals in the Val-d'Oise. Open-air concerts offer a varied musical selection, from French chanson to world music, including jazz and popular hits. Local and regional bands are featured, showcasing the artistic richness of Sannois and neighboring towns.

Street performances, clown shows, and artist entertainment complement the program for the younger audience. The festival's main stage, set up on the panoramic esplanade, offers a view of the Argenteuil plain that is a spectacle in itself.

Family entertainment and association stands

Throughout the day, family entertainment allows children to fully enjoy the festival: inflatable games, creative workshops, sports introductions. Sannois associations set up their stands and present their activities to residents, contributing to the vitality of local associative life. Food stalls offer a variety of specialties.
