From 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM, an aerial circus performance titled L'Entrain by Cie Les Mains Blanches will be presented, described as a dreamlike and vertiginous journey aboard an imaginary train with poetic stops and moments of audience complicity.

Family-friendly activities and market

Throughout the day, there will be inflatable games, wooden games, a duck pond, foosball, giant legos, circus workshops, fun workshops, and a small market of creators. Additional activities include a gourmet break with the collective "Els Amics de l’Escola de Sorède" and an on-site bar.
