The Largest Agricultural Event in Périgord
Terre en Fête is the largest open-field agricultural event in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Organized every summer by the Jeunes Agriculteurs de Dordogne, this itinerant festival moves to a different commune in the department each year. With over 40 editions, it has established itself as an unmissable event in the rural Périgord region.
A Program Rich in Activities
On the program: departmental and regional ploughing finals, demonstrations of sheepdogs, sheep shearing, traditional work, agricultural technical activities, and equipment exhibitions. The general public discovers farm animals, traditional farming know-how, and local Périgord products — but that's not all. A wide range of public entertainment such as Landaise cow racing, lawnmower races, and tractor pulling punctuate the weekend. Here is a small part of the program planned for this big festive weekend!
