WHAt the HEck is skibidifest?
SkibidiFest is an experimental, community-driven gathering focused on co-creation, empowerment, connection, and sharing. Think of it as a big open stage where everyone is participating and responsible. It’s a place for people to make of it whatever they want.
THE LOCATION
Le Vergeat is an "agricultural third-place". It is an old farm nestled in beautiful hills, nearby a river and picturesque ancient villages. A few years ago, it became a space for creating and coming together.
THE DATE
From the 14th of August, 4pm, to the 16th of August, 4pm. You can also come from the 12th of August to help set up and decorate the festival, or to prepare your event, and you can stay a day longer for a cleaning party :)
THE PRICE
SkibidiFest is a non-profit festival run by a small crew of volunteers (look how cute we are)... and by you! This allows us to make the ticket price 50€ to 60€, food, accomodation and bathroom facilities included.
WHAT WE WANT:
We want to offer you a space to let your creativity run free, to share your passions and your knowledge. We want to create intimate spaces for workshops, music, art, crafts, dancing, building connections, sharing, exchanging knowledge...
The idea is that everyone who comes to the festival participates, in the way of your choosing. Either through helping around the festival (cooking, cleaning, organising...) or by offering an event. The only limit is your imagination: it could be anything — a workshop on medicinal plants, a yoga session, body painting, a DJ set...
There will be a scaffold of how the festival will go, with a few slots planned in advance, and some group bonding activities. For the rest, there will be open spaces, for you!
Good will
The festival is only possible if every participant pitches in. Whether it's cooking, helping set up the stage or organising a workshop, we are bringing this space to life together!
a sleeping bag
You'll have the option to sleep in a dormitory, or to come with your camper or your tent. Either way, we do not provide any sleeping equipment: bring a sleeping bag and a pillow, and if applicable, a tent and a mat!
CREATIVITY
You are welcome to come up with the funkiest, most unexpected, most niche or experimental event you can imagine! An activity to make flower crowns, a fire show, a workshop on how to build compost toilets, a poetry reading, holding a playfight space... Sky is the limit.
SOME snacks
Food is included in the Festival Pass. This means breakfast (self-service, simple), and cooked vegan meals for lunch and dinner, prepared by festivalers and served in a buffet. If you want specific food or extra snacks, it's up to you to bring it :)
Openness
We want SkibidiFest to be a safe space free of judgment. A place where it's possible to experiment, to dare, to share something you maybe haven't had the space to share before.
YOUR Passions and skills
You'll have the space to share what you are passionate about, on whichever topic you want. You don't have to be an expert!
A RESpectful attitudE
It's essential that everyone at SkibidiFest feels safe and welcome. We ask you to be mindful of consent and remind you that no disrespectful or discriminatory behaviour will be tolerated within SkibidiFest. An Awareness Team will be in place to ensure everyone has a good time, and they'll be there if you need to talk to someone or if a problem arises.

There is a river about fifteen minutes walk away from the festival location, for some refreshing interludes.
