The Little Festival is a 5-day party in Capbreton, Hossegor and Seignosse. More than 10,000 electronic music lovers have been coming together since 2017 to dance to the sets of renowned artists such as Yuksek, Etienne de Crecy, Folamour and Bon Entendeur. Every year, this unmissable summer event in the Landes region offers an attractive program as well as street art performances and a spotlight on board sports. In partnership with the Surfrider association, the festival is committed to an eco-responsible approach.

Brikabrak is a transpoetic festival that combines the performing arts and poetry for young (and not so young!) audiences. After a 2023 season that jeopardized the equilibrium of the association that supports it, the festival continues to work in the region, organizing several events throughout the year. Musical storytelling, object theater, masked theater, circus, gestural poetry... The arts are adapted to young audiences aged 3 and over, and even appeal to parents and carers. Brikabrak needs your support!

Each day, this nomadic festival will take you from one village in the Isle valley to another. From Annesse and Beaulieu to Saint-Léon-sur-l'Isle via Chantérac, the Domaine des Chaulnes in Grignols or Mensignac and Neuvic. The festival is also aimed at schools and leisure centers, with an average attendance of over 4,000 young spectators. They discover live multidisciplinary shows. The festive evenings have their audience. An opportunity to meet and exchange sensations. And gastronomy takes center stage with gourmet products.

The Laurent Mayan company brings together the intermittents of the show, which they are alikes, chanteurs, copycats or clowns and who intervene in the staging of an event. Creator of performances.
