Dreams, words, and a fairground atmosphere: on October 4 and 5, 2025, the festival will blow out its 30 candles with a colorful edition. Honored this year, illustrator Anne-Lise Boutin signs the poster and will share her world blending markers, inks, cut papers, and digital collages. Inspired by folk arts and Slavic tales, she will bring her poetry and fantasy to the service of the festival.

On the program:
• The presence of 22 renowned authors to exchange and sign their books • Original exhibitions around youth literature and illustration
• A wild concert by David Sire
• And a highlight: the musical reading "Et le désert disparaîtra" carried by the voice of Marie Pavlenko and the cello of Maëva Le Berre, for a journey full of emotions.

This anniversary edition will also be full of fantasy and poetry: shows, readings, workshops, and animations will invite young and old to dive into the imagination in all its forms. Delicate creations like Cabane or Dans le nid des géants, challenges with the big quiz by Manon Fargetton, musical readings full of humor (Oscar & Carrosse), and even a show in Sign Language (Comment écrit-on une histoire ?).

Creative workshops will give birth to whimsical dinosaurs, colorful masks, and incredible space modules, while a giant fresco will celebrate drawing in all its forms.

A festive, joyful, and creative gathering for young and old, which has rhymed curiosity and the pleasure of reading for 30 years.

See you in October in Gaillac to celebrate this beautiful adventure together!
