Festival de la Terre 2025 in Seine-et-Marne, events and local market

The Festival de la Terre de Seine-et-Marne returns this Sunday, September 7, 2025 to Villebéon, in the south of the département. This emblematic agricultural event, organized by the Jeunes Agriculteurs de Seine-et-Marne, celebrates its 37th edition this year. As it has done every year for over three decades, this festive day is an opportunity to discover the riches of Ile-de-France's agricultural heritage, while enjoying a convivial day out with the family.

In Villebéon, a commune near Fontainebleau and the state-owned forest in Seine-et-Marne, it's time to rediscover the authentic spirit of this agricultural festival, which attracts over 16,000 visitors every year. The organizers have lined up a program rich in discoveries, with events that will appeal to children and their parents alike. This day of rural awareness gives farmers from the Seine-et-Marne region the opportunity to share their passion for their work with the general public.
