Festival de l'École des Arts

On Saturday 28 June 2025, the Place de la Mairie in Mansigné will be alive with music and creativity at the Festival de l'École des Arts. Organised by the Communauté de communes Sud Sarthe, this free family event promises a rich programme.




The programme includes

Class and ensemble auditions, discovery workshops, a choir, performances by the Mayet municipal wind band and the JBO orchestra, not forgetting a participatory game for young and old alike. Conferences and an auditory awareness area will round off this convivial day.

With its three stages, the festival offers a great showcase for local talent and invites the public to share a moment of artistic discovery. It's a great opportunity to support artistic education and strengthen the social fabric of the region.

?? See you on 28 June from 2pm in Mansigné. Come one, come all!
