So take a one-way ticket to Kyoto, Tokyo, Okinawa... And discover this culture, so different from our Western culture, through shows, workshops for children, free entertainment and more. To achieve this, the town of Clamart is working hand in hand with the Japanese community in the Paris region, associations and French artists who are interested in Japanese traditions and lifestyles.

As every year, head for the Place de la Mairie and the Parc de la Maison Blanche to discover the Village des Petits Pois and its immersive decor, featuring workshops, shows and entertainment all day long. In the early evening, it's time for the Petits Pois parade, with traditional costumes and music! Finally, the festivities come to a close at the big dance party with DJ set, starting at 10pm. All day long, you can even enjoy Japanese cuisine on the go at the food stands and foodtrucks located in the Petits Peois Village.

The entire program is free, open and accessible to all (except for the catering, of course).
