Le P'tit Festival: A World of Shows for Little Ones

Every year in February, Le P'tit Festival takes over La Petite Gaillarde in Clermont-Ferrand to offer children and their families a week of varied and accessible live performances. This young audience festival has become a must-attend event in Clermont's cultural life, offering programming suitable for all ages, from infants to pre-teens.

A Rich and Diverse Program

Le P'tit Festival offers a wide range of live performance disciplines:

• Theater and sensory theater for toddlers
• Musical tales and enchanted narrations
• Contemporary circus adapted for young audiences
• Poetic and contemporary dance
• Magic and illusion
• Puppetry and object theater

Each show is designed for a specific audience, with creations for babies from 3 months old as well as for children aged 6 to 12, ensuring an experience tailored to each age group.

La Petite Gaillarde, A Dedicated Venue

The festival primarily takes place at La Petite Gaillarde, an intimate performance venue located at 9 rue Abbé-Banier in Clermont-Ferrand. This human-sized venue offers a warm and friendly atmosphere, ideal for welcoming young audiences. The proximity between artists and spectators creates a unique environment conducive to discovery and wonder.

A Stage for Local Artists

Le P'tit Festival is distinguished by its commitment to supporting local creation. It provides a stage for artists from the Auvergne region, allowing them to present their work to a family audience. This initiative contributes to the vitality of the local artistic scene and the diversity of cultural offerings for young audiences.

A Festival Organized by the WISE Association

Formerly organized for ten years by the association “la Fée Malou,” Le P'tit Festival is now organized by the WISE association, which continues the event's friendly and committed spirit. The festival benefits from the support of the City of Clermont-Ferrand and local cultural partners.

La Puce à l'Oreille in Riom

For the past few editions, Le P'tit Festival has extended beyond Clermont-Ferrand by offering a special day at La Puce à l'Oreille in Riom, thus broadening its reach within the Puy-de-Dôme region.
