About
The Carreau du Temple hosts the seventh edition of the Jogging Festival from 27 May to 30 May 2027, showcasing the dynamic intersection of art and athletics. This multidisciplinary event features performances, contemporary art exhibitions, and inclusive sports sessions designed for all participants. The venue is fully equipped to welcome visitors with disabilities, offering full access for wheelchair users and specific support for the deaf, hard of hearing, blind, and visually impaired. While entry to the festival is free, please note that specific workshops and stage shows may require prior booking or a dedicated ticket.
Since 2021, the Festival Jogging has been uniquely and innovatively exploring the intersections of sport and art, with a quirky and stimulating perspective.
Through a multidisciplinary artistic program, the Halle and the performance hall host artists who question, subvert, or play with sporting codes. Shows, performances, visual arts… sport remains a fantastic source of inspiration for the choreographers, performers, and visual artists invited to the festival.
For the second consecutive year, the contemporary art exhibition is dedicated to the young generation of artists. The works (sculpture, ceramics, photography, etc.) presented for the first time for Jogging will be selected following a call for projects launched nationally to art schools.
Showcasing sport, but also practicing it. XXL inclusive sports classes and participatory workshops accessible to all will set the pace for the festival days. Thus, this seventh edition of the festival joyfully intertwines creativity, self-transcendence, and inclusivity for everyone!
With artists: Jan Martens (program currently being finalized)
Full program on the website in April 2027
Our take on this event
From 27 May to 30 May 2027, the Carreau du Temple presents the seventh Jogging Festival, an innovative exploration of how sports influence artistic expression. The schedule includes a variety of performances and visual arts installations where creators, including artist Jan Martens, challenge and reinterpret sporting codes. A highlight of this year is the contemporary art exhibition, which showcases new works—ranging from sculpture to photography—selected from a national call for projects targeting young artists from art schools.
Beyond observation, the festival encourages active participation through XXL sports classes and workshops accessible to everyone. The organisers have prioritised inclusivity, ensuring the site is wheelchair accessible and providing tailored support for visitors who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually impaired.
While general admission to the festival grounds is free, some specific activities such as workshops and certain stage performances require booking. The full programme will be available on the official website starting in April 2027.
