Éveil Festival at the MJC of Cavaillon – March 20 to 21, 2026

For its first edition, the Éveil Festival transforms the MJC of Cavaillon into a true space of discovery for families. Over two days, children and adults alike are invited to explore ecology, music and cultural practices through a festive and participatory programme.

Between laughter and reflection, visitors can wander at their own pace, enjoy the shows and activities, and discover initiatives around recycling and creativity. This young audience festival offers a playful way to reflect on our relationship with waste and overconsumption.

A friendly event to enjoy with the whole family in a joyful atmosphere that is open and accessible to everyone.

Food truck "C dans l'oeuf" and refreshment stand on site.
