Street arts festival south of Rennes
About Week-end à la Rue
Un Week-end à la Rue (A Weekend in the Street) is an intercommunal street arts festival that takes place every spring in six communes south of Rennes Métropole: Bourgbarré, Chantepie, Corps-Nuds, Nouvoitou, Saint-Armel, and Vern-sur-Seiche, in Ille-et-Vilaine. For a weekend, squares, parks, and public spaces host free street theatre, circus, music, dance, and comedy shows, in a family-friendly atmosphere accessible to all.
Un Week-end à la Rue
For several years, six communes south of Rennes Métropole — Bourgbarré, Chantepie, Corps-Nuds, Nouvoitou, Saint-Armel, and Vern-sur-Seiche — have joined forces around a single event: Un Week-end à la Rue, an entirely free intercommunal festival dedicated to street arts and live performance. Street theatre, circus, and dance companies, musical groups, and comedy acts take over the public spaces of the various communes for open-air performances.
A festival designed for everyone
The event aims to be inclusive and was created to promote access to culture for all audiences. The organizing communes work particularly with associative partners to make the program accessible to people with disabilities. Each edition explores a theme: for the 2026 edition, the festival highlights insects and small creatures, essential for biodiversity.
Information and program
The detailed program, day by day and commune by commune, is published on the official website of the event. To find out more, consult the official website or the pages of the town halls of the participating communes.
