Every year around the summer solstice, the Solstice Festival brings together families, curious onlookers and contemporary circus enthusiasts in Antony and Châtenay-Malabry. Organized by L'Azimut, the only Pôle National Cirque in the Île-de-France region, this festive event offers a multi-disciplinary program free of charge. Conceived as a village fete, the festival combines circus shows, open-air concerts, creative workshops, on-site catering and free games for young and old.
