The aim of this festival is to make art accessible to everyone from the earliest age! Festo Pitcho features 15 shows and 27 performances in 13 communes in the Vaucluse, Gard and northern Bouches-du-Rhône regions, including Avignon, of course, but also Vedène, Velleron, Cavaillon, and even towns such as Châteaurenard and Roquemaure! This means that as many people as possible can enjoy this unique festival. This family-friendly event attracts some 5,000 spectators every year, and there’s no age limit: there’s something for everyone, young and old, who loves the performing arts!
The program? An anthology of creations for young audiences, with a focus on diversity. Whether you’re curious about theater, dance, puppetry or circus, Festo Pitcho offers a total immersion in the imaginary world of children. And we’d better warn you: the opening of the festival on Saturday, March 29 in the Square Agricol-Perdiguier from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. promises to be unforgettable (especially for the little ones)! Creative workshops will enable your children to make mini-puppets in the shape of an avocado, to echo the poster for the 2025 edition!
A collective event in the service of live performance
This festival is first and foremost a collective adventure, the fruit of the work of cultural and educational structures and local authorities. All united around the desire to offer a program for young audiences that leaves room for creativity and diversity! So get ready to experience a spring full of discoveries and emotions with Festo Pitcho, and let yourself be enchanted by the magical world of live entertainment, whether you’re young or old!
