Les Rues de l’Étang
A highlight of Istres’ summer festivities, the Les Rues de l’Étang festival returns in 2026 to transform the city into an open-air stage. While the event travels around the shores of the Étang de Berre, it is in Istres, on Sunday, August 2, that it will fully unfold with an outstanding programme. The city becomes a space for artistic expression where circus arts, dance and street theatre come together.
This 2026 edition makes Istres a crossroads of emotion and performance. Between the raw energy of Cirque Baobab, the aerial poetry of Compagnie Les Josianes and the participatory installations of Collectif Primavez, residents and visitors alike are invited on a unique sensory journey.
