Fête de Vert-le-Petit

The annual festival of Vert-le-Petit

Vert-le-Petit (91710) is a village of some 2,500 inhabitants located in the Val d'Essonne, on the banks of the Essonne river, between Mennecy and Corbeil-Essonnes. This village with its preserved rural charm organizes its municipal festival every year, a popular event that brings residents together around friendly and festive activities. The town has a town hall and sports facilities that regularly host local events.

The Stade Vertois and its sporting events

Vert-le-Petit stands out for its associative and sporting dynamism, notably embodied by the Stade Vertois Athlétisme, which organizes the annual Ronde des Étangs, a popular running race that brings together runners and Nordic walkers around the ponds of the Val d'Essonne. This sporting tradition reflects the active and committed nature of the town. The village festival is part of this same spirit of conviviality and sharing.

Open-air family entertainment

The Fête de Vert-le-Petit offers entertainment for all audiences in the green setting of the village. Children are particularly catered for with fun outdoor activities. Collective games, sports activities, and moments of conviviality around a meal or an associative barbecue are among the highlights. The festival takes advantage of Vert-le-Petit's natural setting—its ponds, green spaces, and proximity to the forest—to create a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.

The carnival "La danse des parapluies"

In addition to the summer festival, the town of Vert-le-Petit also organizes a carnival in March, called "La danse des parapluies" (The Dance of the Umbrellas), which brings families together for a festive parade with confetti distribution. This spring event reflects the richness of local festive life, supported by the town hall and its associations.

A village between nature and heritage

The Val d'Essonne is a region of great landscape quality, dotted with ponds, wet meadows, and woodlands. Vert-le-Petit, as its name suggests, is a green village, whose natural environment is a precious asset. The town hall, the town hall, and the associative facilities are gathered around the village center, rue du Général Leclerc.
