About Fête Villebon
The Fête de Villebon-sur-Yvette: a moment of cohesion in the heart of the Yvette valley
Nestled in the Yvette valley, between the forest of Malabry and the wooded hills of Essonne, Villebon-sur-Yvette is a dynamic town of about 10,000 inhabitants that knows how to bring its population together each year for a great municipal festival. A true moment of social cohesion, the Villebon festival embodies the values of conviviality and sharing that animate local life.
Entertainment for the whole family
The Villebon festival offers a rich and varied program for all generations. Children enjoy inflatable games, creative workshops, and fairground rides, while adults gather around food stalls, musical entertainment, and demonstrations offered by local associations. The associative fair is an opportunity to discover the local fabric and get involved in neighborhood life.
Street arts play a prominent role in the program, with parades by street theater troupes, jugglers, acrobats, and circus artists animating the streets and parks of the town. These free shows, accessible to all, create a festive and warm atmosphere throughout the day.
Music and shows in the evening
As night falls, the festival takes on a spectacular dimension with open-air concerts, a popular ball hosted by a DJ, and a fireworks display that lights up the summer sky of Villebon-sur-Yvette. The evening brings together thousands of residents in a festive and relaxed atmosphere, conducive to meeting and reconnecting.
The Fêtes de la Saint-Côme et Saint-Damien
The festive tradition of Villebon-sur-Yvette is embodied in particular by the Fêtes de la Saint-Côme et Saint-Damien, which celebrate the patron saints of the town. These patronal festivals are an opportunity to open the doors of the castle and the communal park, to organize a giant aperitif on the terrace, balloon sculpting workshops, adventure courses, and giant outdoor games. The friendly atmosphere and the popular nature of these celebrations reflect the village spirit that endures in this town on the outskirts of Paris.
A territory with rich natural heritage
Villebon-sur-Yvette is a town favored by its exceptional natural setting: the Yvette river flows through its territory, the surrounding forests offer beautiful walking spaces, and the architectural heritage—with its 17th-century castle and its Saint-Côme-et-Saint-Damien church—gives a special character to the town. The municipal festival is an opportunity to showcase this heritage and strengthen the link between the inhabitants and their territory.
Each edition of the Villebon festival is organized by the municipal services with the precious contribution of local associations and the associative fabric, which run stalls, games, and activities throughout the day. The event is free and open to all, demonstrating the municipality's commitment to offering every resident equal access to municipal festivities.
