The Lily of the Valley Festival in Rambouillet
The Rambouillet Lily of the Valley Festival celebrates the arrival of spring in the Yvelines region.
This iconic event stems from a century-old tradition.
Join us for this popular festival, taking place on May 9th and 10th, 2026, with a host of activities.
The Rambouillet Lily of the Valley Festival combines tradition, entertainment, and festivities.
It centers around a flower parade featuring more than a dozen decorated floats, which winds its way through the town's streets in a festive atmosphere.
You can also enjoy the funfair set up throughout the weekend in downtown Rambouillet, with plenty of entertainment for the whole family.
Among the highlights of this 2026 edition are the fashion show by local businesses featuring board games and video games, the unmissable fireworks display launched from the grounds of Rambouillet Castle, and the concert by the Rambouillet Musical Society.
Each year, the Lily of the Valley Queen is honored.
Elected during the Lily of the Valley Night in January, the winner represents the youth of Rambouillet and proudly upholds the town's values.
This year, Émilie will be crowned Lily of the Valley Queen 2026, surrounded by her runners-up, during an official ceremony planned as part of the festival.
This highlight will be followed by a spectacular pyrotechnic and musical show in the castle grounds.
📅 Dates: Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, 2026
📍 Locations: Rambouillet town center, castle park, and pedestrian streets
🎟️ Free admission
