What's on the program? The festival invites you to imagine together a livable future, to envision new possibilities and, above all, to find solutions for taking concrete action in the face of environmental problems and climate challenges, with exhibitions by designers and visual artists, dance and theater performances, concerts, film screenings, educational workshops... Come and see a fresco on the climate, listen to the debates at the various round tables, and above all, discover the essential information you need to take action on your own scale in the face of the environmental emergency.

The detailed program for this new edition is online on the event’s official site. Each day, visitors can take part in workshops, talks, an exhibition, an immersive experience, screenings, and performances... Among the must-see moments are the immersive experience Sleeping Giants on Thursday evening, the screening of short films created by Gobelins students, and a workshop focused on dance. On June 21, a special evening with a DJ set will close the festival and let us celebrate Music Day. Note that some sessions require tickets.

Whether you’re coming with family, with teens, with friends, or otherwise, the good news is that the Anticipation festival is free, open to all and requires no reservations! If you’re looking for a playful yet mainly educational activity about climate from June 18 to 21, 2026, head to La Gaîté Lyrique!
