The Great Reunion – Circus, theatre and music festival in Ladignac-le-Long (87)

From 30 april to 03 may 2026

The Les Grandes Retrouvailles festival returns to the Étang de Ladignac-le-Long in Haute-Vienne for a festive and committed edition mixing contemporary circus, theatre, live music and street arts.

For four days, this artist-run, self-produced festival offers an immersion into a creative and welcoming world where international companies, groove concerts, and shows under the big top come together. The public can discover performances by Circo Paniko, participate in a large-scale collective cabaret, enjoy live concerts, and experience unique activities such as a musical bike ride.

The event also showcases a modern fairground atmosphere with entertainment, exhibitors, artisanal food and festive evenings until the end of the night.

Open to all thanks to free entry to the site, the festival encourages encounters between artists and the public in a welcoming natural setting. A nearby campsite allows visitors to extend their experience over several days.

👉 An unmissable event for fans of circus, juggling, live shows and alternative festivals in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
