MegaWATT 2026: the free performances festival in Paris and Seine-et-Marne

Published by My de Sortiraparis · Updated on June 5, 2026 at 09:35 a.m.
Le festival MégaWATT takes over public spaces in Paris's 13th arrondissement and in Seine-et-Marne with free circus, dance, and theatre performances. An outdoor program to experience this spring-summer through June 27, 2026.

The MegaWATT Festival returns to the streets and parks for a 2026 edition centered on free access and sharing. From May 27 to June 20, 2026, residents of the 13th arrondissement of Paris and of Seine-et-Marne are invited to discover unexpected artistic encounters, popping up at a square, a park, or a street corner — all at no cost.

Carried by the association De Rue De Cirque, which has spent years democratizing street arts, MégaWATT offers a blend of contemporary circus, dance, and street theatre, designed to reach a broad audience. The parc de Choisy, in the 13th arrondissement, becomes one of the festival’s beating hearts, with several performances scheduled around the famous Caravane rouge, the gathering point for festival-goers.

What’s on at the MégaWATT 2026 festival?

In June, the festival turns up the energy. On 11, 12 and 13 June, Parc de Choisy hosts several new works, including Le Pédé from Collectif Jeanine Machine, Hors Sol by Dakipaya Danza, and the pieces ROSE and JOUIR by Cie Notre Insouciance. Audience members are asked to check in 10 minutes before each performance at Caravane Rouge.

On Friday, June 19, head to Place de la République (Paris 10th) for Fièvre by Point Bart, at 7 p.m. Note: the meeting point should be confirmed before you come, as the organizers themselves warn. The festival wraps up in style on Saturday, June 20 at Parc de Choisy, with a trampoline workshop by Cie Kiaï at 2:30 p.m., followed by Fièvre at 7 p.m. and the creation PULSE by Cie Kiaï at 8 p.m., as part of the Treize'Estival.

MégaWATT is also a circus festival held in Seine-et-Marne.

The MégaWATT season doesn’t stop at Paris’s doorstep. Saturday, June 27, the festival takes us to Seine-et-Marne (77) with WeCirk!, a milestone dedicated to circus arts in rural settings. An invitation to trade the asphalt for performances set in nature, in towns across the department, where this kind of programming remains a genuine surprise.
