Potato festival in Jarnages
About Patate en Fête
The potato in the spotlight in Creuse
La Patate en Fête celebrates the potato every year in Jarnages, a town in Creuse at the heart of a rich agricultural region. Organized by the association Vivre à Jarnages since 2005, this popular festival takes place on the first Sunday of September and brings together local producers, volunteers, and visitors around this universal tuber, presented in all its forms.
The potato in all its forms
The culinary program is generous: golden fries, grilled dishes, potato pie — an essential specialty of Creuse —, fondue, crepes, and ice cream. Local producers and volunteers highlight the richness of this emblematic vegetable. A producers' market complements the gastronomic offerings with local products from Creuse.
Activities for the whole family
Beyond gastronomy, La Patate en Fête offers various activities for all ages: flea market and garage sale in the morning, treasure hunt with surprises for young and old explorers, and a concert by the local brass band « Les Échos de Jarnages » in the afternoon. The festive and family-friendly atmosphere makes this event a must-attend for the start of the school year in Creuse.
