Planète en Fête

Planète en Fête: Mayenne's organic and sustainable event

Since 2005, Planète en Fête has been traveling through the towns of Mayenne to celebrate organic farming and sustainable development. Organized by CIVAM Bio 53, the network of organic farmers in Mayenne, this traveling festival changes location each year, allowing different communities to embrace the event and co-create it with the organizers.

A large market of organic producers

The heart of the festival is its organic producer market, which brings together local farmers and artisans. Seasonal fruits and vegetables, cheeses, meats, breads, honey, organic wines, and processed products are offered for direct sale, allowing visitors to discover the richness and diversity of Mayenne's organic production.

100% organic and local meals

Meals entirely prepared with organic and local products are served on-site, offering an authentic and committed taste experience.

A rich and varied program

Beyond the market, Planète en Fête offers a dense program of activities and discussions:

• Conferences and round tables on food, environmental, and agricultural issues
• Citizen debates on sustainable development and ecological transition
• Concerts and shows to liven up the festival evenings
• Screenings of documentaries on agriculture and the environment
• Practical workshops for all ages: gardening, cooking, crafts

An eco-responsible festival

True to its values, Planète en Fête implements an exemplary eco-responsible approach: dry toilets, reusable tableware, waste sorting, photovoltaic compensation of energy consumed. The festival also encourages soft transportation methods: carpooling, public transport, and cycling.

An event co-created with residents

Each year, an organizing committee composed of residents from the host town meets monthly from January to June to prepare the festival. This participatory dimension makes Planète en Fête a true territorial project, rooted in local life and supported by committed volunteers.
