The Repair Festival returns to Paris for its fourth edition, on June 5–6, 2026, on the square and in the courtyard of the 11th arrondissement town hall. In parallel with World Environment Day, the event led by UAMEP – Une Autre Mode Est Possible invites the public to get their hands dirty… or rather to pick up the needle. For two days, worn-out garments, undone seams and forgotten fabrics are given a new lease on life at this major gathering dedicated to textile repair, upcycling and circular fashion.
After unfurling its thread at the Climate Academy, then the Canals, and finally the Palais de la Femme, the free festival today takes its reels to the heart of the 11th arrondissement. For the first time, the courtyard and the town hall square become an open-air workshop, buzzing with sewing machines, crafts, and ideas to mend. Here, there’s no quitting—nor breaking up with a favorite pair of jeans: the festival wants to prove that a damaged garment can still be knit back to life.
