Place Libre Festival

Street Arts at the Heart of Grésivaudan

The Place Libre Festival transforms the village of Le Touvet into a true open-air theater every summer. Nestled at the foot of the Chartreuse massif, in the verdant Grésivaudan valley, this festival offers an exceptional setting to discover street arts in all their forms: contemporary circus, street theater, object theater, burlesque performances, and clown shows.

A Demanding and Accessible Program

Each edition of the Place Libre Festival features a rigorous selection of companies and artists from all over France. The program favors quality, quirky, and poetic shows that appeal to both children and adults. Performances take place in the squares, streets, gardens, and public spaces of Le Touvet, creating a unique proximity between artists and spectators.

Four Days of Celebration and Discovery

The festival spans four days at the end of August, an ideal time to enjoy outdoor performances in the summer warmth. In addition to the shows, the program includes concerts, processions, a pedal-powered carousel with music, and a bike parade that invites young and old to cycle through the village. Opportunities to meet the artists also punctuate the festival.

Strong Local Roots

Supported by the municipality of Le Touvet and numerous volunteers, the Place Libre Festival is a true territorial project. It contributes to the cultural animation of the Grésivaudan and the discovery of street arts by audiences who do not always have access to such artistic proposals. The festival's convivial and family-friendly spirit makes it a special time for sharing and encounters.
