While lilies of the valley will be offered on May 1st, as tradition dictates, the festivities will continue in Rambouillet a few days later. For the Fête du Muguet, the white flower will be honored with a myriad of colorful events. And while the last edition focused on the theme of the Olympic year, the 2025 version will celebrate “the world’s festivals.” We can’t wait.
The Lily of the Valley Festival returns with a bang
A highlight of the year for all Rambolitans, the Fête du Muguet will once again be on the calendar for the 3rd weekend in May. To celebrate the arrival of the white flower, but also the town’s youth, this event attracts a large number of participants every year, and promises some great entertainment. This year’s event is no exception, especially when you look at the richly detailed program.
On Saturday, there will be a fashion show in the heart of the courtyard of the King of Rome’s palace, during which shopkeepers will be invited to celebrate the lily of the valley. After the traditional crowning of the Lily of the Valley Queen, an incredible pyrosymphonic show brings the day to a close. The following day, the festivities continue with a parade of colorful floats, and above all, a huge funfair.
All in all, it’s going to be a great party, and we’re looking forward to seeing you on May 17 and 18, at a number of venues across the city. Mark your calendars!
