Journée de l'Auguste - Pouancé (Ombrée d'Anjou)

Auguste Day on Saturday 1 August 2026 in Pouancé town centre.

Auguste Day
On Saturday 1 August 2026, the town will come alive with live entertainment! Three troupes will take to the streets for a day of festivities, featuring circus acts, comedy and poetry.

3.00 pm – Place du Pilori
La Maison Etc – Zanzibar the Juggler: “Zanzibar Lets Loose”
A comedy circus show on an international scale. He talks non-stop, even in his sleep! On the road for over 20 years, this eccentric character is well worth a visit. Always ready with a joke, he performs one act after another without taking himself too seriously.
Suitable for all ages

5.00 pm – Square des Remparts (Rue Saint Aubin)
La Roulotte Ruche “The Beaver Patrol”
A festive gathering for a good cause. Backpacks on their backs, smiles on their faces, in full uniform and with guitars slung over their shoulders, the Beaver Patrol arrive in town to organise a big (Re)wake-up party. There are only four of them, but they have energy, goodwill and enthusiasm to spare: three boys and a girl who want to rediscover life in the great outdoors, the joy of being together and of helping one another.
Suitable for all ages

9.00 pm – Enclos du Vieux Château
Cie Tétrofort “15”
After living in the village for years and leaving following a tragedy, Hélène and Pascal (who recently celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary) have decided to move back. To get to know their future neighbours, they’ve invited them over for a festive get-together over a glass of sangria. But during this gathering, our lovely couple will gradually reveal themselves and show a side we hadn’t seen before…
Suitable for ages 10 and over
