Events calendar Indre

For over 20 years, enthusiasts have been reviving the Saint Luc procession. In the afternoon, they've added a very different kind of entertainment: a witchcraft festival featuring a gourmet and craft market, plays, strolls, a brass band, percussion instruments, a funfair, fireworks and a grand ball. If you like to scare yourself with the witch's house or tarot card readings, if you want to see the witch burn, don't miss the Bonnu festival! Costumes and entertainment are highly elaborate, and the shows are captivating.

A not-to-be-missed event in the tourist season. At the end of July, the three towns bordering the lake - Cuzion, Eguzon and Saint-Plantaire - organize the Three Beaches Challenge at Bonnu, Chambon and Fougères. It's also the occasion for a parade of Club Nautique boats, entertainment, demonstrations and free introductions to water-skiing. A concert, fireworks on the water and a free dance round off the day's activities, which are always well attended around Lac d'Eguzon, the largest lake in the Centre region. Numerous water sports activities keep the lake lively.

The history of the city of Châteauroux began in the 10th century when Raoul le Large decided to build a castle there. Eleven centuries later, the city has changed considerably but its medieval heritage is still present. This is what this 1h15 medieval tour proposes to discover. Starting from the Place Gambetta, it will take you to the Place Monestier in 21 steps, passing, of course, by the Château Raoul. Circuit available at the tourist office.

The Bidon circus has been organizing a festival in Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre for 8 years. This old-fashioned circus travels the Indre region but also the Indre-et-Loire and the Auvergne. For 50 years, it has been traveling the roads with its old-fashioned horse-drawn caravans, before wintering. It is a very poetic circus. At the end of its tour, the Bidon circus meets at the gymnasium of Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre for final performances and to introduce new companies to the public.

Every year in mid-September, since 1994, Vartan has been hosting a two-day event on the theme of the green Berry lentil, an iconic product of the Centre-Val de Loire region. On the programme: farmer's market, tasting of local dishes, cooking competitions, traditional dance demonstrations and workshops for children. Saturday evening closes with a dance party, and on Sunday there's a concert! A joyful way to immerse yourself in the customs of Berry.
