Block your weekend !!! 🎪 The Festival of Peach Walls returns on May 29 (before evening), May 30 & 31, 2020 to celebrate its 20 years! 🎋 Artistic and activist festival, admission and fanzine at free price.

Prepare to be suprised, overwhelmed, charmed & driven by the sweet madness of this cheeky festival. Get lost in flower gardens. And ask yourself in their alcoves, where artists, comedians and musicians will take you into their fabulous worlds and make you hang out.

We will discuss the commons, our dreams, our mistakes and make friends. To observe the moon and feel the sun, to vibrate in the joyous pitch of the encounter with the other. To cross the skin, to dive into the eyes, so that silky desires arise, so that the sweetness of an exchange hits the meninges, to breathe the breath of the wind, to savor time, to break taboos, to take the risk of imminent, powerful, impactful, frightening, green change … Now. 🌱 🎉

We welcome you with open arms, young & old free of spirit! Let us fight together in the joy and the listening of the alive, for the safeguard of this zone to defend enchanted, mysterious, poetic, cunning and magnetic, wild & phlegmatic!

Wow.
