Young audience festival in Montmoreau en Charente
Les Gaminades is a festival of shows for young audiences organized every year at the beginning of June by the Community of Communes Lavalette Tude Dronne in the park of the town hall of Montmoreau, in South Charente. For two days, the festival offers a professional artistic program with circus, theater and puppet shows on four stages, a wooden games village, creative workshops (painting, photography, jewelry) and activities for the whole family (pony rides, marble circuits). The price is affordable and admission is free for children under 3 years old.
For over twenty years, Les Gaminades has been the unmissable event for families in South Charente. Every year, on the first weekend of June, the Montmoreau town hall park transforms into a huge playground and discovery area for children and their parents.
The festival hosts about ten professional companies performing on four stages spread across the park. Shows of circus, theater, puppets, storytelling, and music follow one another from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening. The program is designed to awaken the curiosity of the youngest while enchanting adults.
Around the shows, a village of giant wooden games and creative workshops (painting, photography, jewelry making, marble circuit creation) keep children entertained between performances. Pony rides and many other activities punctuate the weekend. A catering area with a refreshment bar and a reception area for toddlers are available on site.
Les Gaminades 2026 are announced for the first weekend of June at the Montmoreau town hall park. Young audience shows, creative workshops, and activities for the whole family.
