The Fête des vendanges: Two days of street arts in Bagneux
Every last weekend of September, performance troupes take over Bagneux’s parks, squares, the area in front of the church, and even school playgrounds, offering mostly free, non-ticketed shows. The program is a vibrant mix of street theater, circus acts, acrobatics, clowning, dance, music, and entertainment for young audiences.
Nine locations, marked by totems
Performances are spread across nine spots in the city, easily identified by totems created by the Les Plastikeuses collective: Place Dampierre, Saint-Hermeland Church, Le Clos des Sources, Rosenberg School, Parc du Puits Saint-Étienne, Parc Richelieu, Louis-Aragon Media Library, Avenue Gabriel-Péri, and Paul-Langevin School. Many shows are performed twice a day at different times.
Grapes first
On Saturday at noon, at Place Dampierre, the municipal Green Spaces team presses grapes, and the juice is tasted on-site with the Joyeux Vignerons and the Confrérie Balnéolaise des Chevaliers de Bacchus. Le Clos des Sources, Bagneux’s heritage and history center, opens its doors both afternoons for self-guided and guided tours, thematic tours on the festival's history led by the municipal Archives and Heritage department, wine christenings, storytelling tours, and temporary exhibitions.
For the kids
The youth section, located in Parc Richelieu, features a different theme each year and is developed in advance: the City hosts free workshops at the Maison des Arts covering set design, sound installations, painting, percussion, sewing, and dance for both children and adults. On Saturday evening, the 'Si t'es môme' carnival parade travels from Parc Richelieu to Place Dampierre.
A festival cooked up by local associations
Food is provided by around twenty local Bagneux associations at Place Dampierre and Parc du Puits Saint-Étienne, featuring flavors from Armenia, Brittany, Africa, the Caribbean, Madagascar, the Comoros, and French regional specialties.
Les Préambulations, one week before
Since 2018, the Les Préambulations festival has served as a prelude to the Fête des vendanges. Organized by Le Plus Petit Cirque du Monde in partnership with the City, it brings artistic events to various neighborhoods throughout the week leading up to the main festival.
