13th Edition — July 12 and 13, 2025
The Les Endimanchés festival celebrated its 13th edition on Saturday, July 12, and Sunday, July 13, 2025, once again taking over the streets and squares of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse for a completely free festive and family weekend.
A Program Focused on Artistic Proximity
This edition offered a rich and eclectic program, true to the festival's spirit: street theater, circus, dance, music, singing, puppets, and poetic installations followed one another in the various spaces of the village. The public could wander freely from one show to another, according to their desires and discoveries.
Companies and Shows
Among the highlights of the program, the company La Fine Oreille presented La Cabane Parasol, a show of traditional polyphonic songs from around the world, accessible to all ages. The company Tandem à Plumes enchanted the very young from one year old with Castelet sous le manteau, a musical puppet show of great delicacy.
Activities and Conviviality
Alongside the shows, the festival offered its traditional craft market, cooperative wooden games for young and old, the famous parent-powered carousel, and collaborative workshops. The refreshment stand and food service allowed for extended conversations in a warm atmosphere.
Youth Workshops
The week before the festival, circus workshops led by artists Grudu and Bliz'Hik were offered to children and young people aged 6 to 17, with fun instruction in juggling, balancing, clowning, and magic. The participants presented their creations during the festival.
