Fiestas des P'tits Loups

A summer event for families by Lake Geneva

The Fiestas des P'tits Loups have become a must-attend summer event for families in Thonon. Every Wednesday evening in July and August, the port of Rives in Thonon-les-Bains hosts a free open-air show, offering children and their parents a moment of entertainment facing Lake Geneva and the nearby Jura mountains.

Organized by Thonon Événements, this festival is part of a series of cultural events that liven up the town throughout the year, alongside the Fondus du Macadam and the Murmures du Macadam.

Humor, acrobatics, and shared emotions

The programming of the Fiestas des P'tits Loups focuses on shows accessible from a young age, where humor, acrobatics, music, and good cheer are the keywords. The invited companies are committed to making children and their parents laugh, impress, and move, offering shows to be enjoyed as a family.

Each performance is unique and a discovery, with artists from the young audience performing arts scene. The format — one show per Wednesday — creates a regular event that punctuates the summer for Thonon families and vacationers.

The port of Rives, an enchanting setting

The shows take place at the port of Rives, by Lake Geneva, in a natural setting that fully contributes to the magic of the event. Families gather from 8 PM to enjoy the show with, in the background, the sunset over the Jura and the golden reflections on the lake waters. In case of bad weather, the shows are postponed.
