30th Edition — Anniversary with Great Fanfare
On Saturday, July 19, 2025, the Witch Festival of Rouffach celebrated its 30th anniversary with great fanfare. To mark this historic edition, video mapping was projected onto a historic building in the city, bringing the legends and history of Rouffach's witchcraft to life.
Visitors found the ingredients that make the festival a success: the medieval encampment by Les Lames d'en Temps with herbalism, ancient games, and siege engines; the Univers Perchés de Bergol with their fantastical troupes; the Oracles of Compagnie Freevortex blending dance, fire, and mysterious chants; l'Exploratorium and its forgotten artifacts; the Artventuriers and their visual surprises; and Rouge Sauvage with its giant puppet show inspired by Little Red Riding Hood.
The Strange Path offered its two versions — family and intense — while the fire show 'ÉMERGENCE' at 10 PM provided a pyrotechnic finale celebrating the festival's 30 years.
