Success for the first edition of “O Folies Printanières”

Music, laughter, unusual entertainment, and shared moments made this spring weekend a popular success. It was in a joyful and friendly atmosphere that the city came alive for three days. Organized by the Municipality, this new event aimed to bring a breath of fresh air to the local festive calendar, targeting a wide audience: families, young people, music lovers, or partygoers! “We really felt people's desire to get together, to create together, in a festive and good-natured spirit,” welcomed Hervé Stassinos, the mayor, at the end of the event.

PARTICIPATORY SPIRIT

The rich and eclectic program appealed to all profiles. From the chic and casual Soirée Blanche to the Flower Power evening with its 70s vibe, via a cheerful concert by the Ukulélé Band de Toulon, each moment brought its unique touch. Dance lovers were thrilled with the two wild DJ nights, while families, the youngest—and the most playful—had fun during wheelbarrow and potato sack races! Among the activities, the competition for the most beautiful flower crown, the best recipe based on the famous Le Pradet honey, or the best booth demonstrated the creativity (and greed) of the participants.

HEADING FOR 2026!

The only downside: sometimes capricious weather. But this did not prevent excellent attendance, which reinforced the organizers' desire to make this event a must-see of the spring. The second edition has already been announced for 2026, with its share of surprises and novelties. “It's a beautiful adventure starting. We can't wait to make it grow,” confided Céline, in charge of the city's festive events. If the sun is more generous next time, there is no doubt that the “O Folies Printanières” will shine even brighter.
