Sports Festival

The Cours Foucault is transformed into a veritable Olympic village for a weekend! The Fête des Sports is back for its traditional autumn edition, marking the end of summer in Montauban with a bang. This flagship event, organised jointly by Montauban town council and OMEPS (Office Municipal d’Éducation Physique et du Sport), is a must-attend before the start of the new sports season.

Imagine a huge open-air sports laboratory where more than 80 clubs and associations display their colours and passion.

From football and archery to tennis, badminton, volleyball, board games and rollerblading, this mosaic of sports reflects the richness of Montalban’s associative fabric.

Each discipline has its place in this celebration of movement and personal achievement.

The philosophy behind this festival? Touch, try, feel before you choose. Far from being a simple information stand, the Fête des Sports focuses on an immersive experience. Visitors of all ages will be able to try their hand at a wide range of sports in real-life conditions. A tennis racket in your hands, a rugby ball to pass, arrows to shoot… so many opportunities to discover your future passion or to confirm a budding vocation.

This experiential approach transforms each visitor into an active participant in their own sporting discovery, guaranteeing an informed choice for the year to come.

Beyond the purely sporting dimension, the event cultivates the art of living together.

Inflatable games punctuate the space with children’s laughter, while a host of surprises punctuate the festive weekend.

The warm, relaxed atmosphere makes this a family festival for all ages.

The health dimension is not left out, with a dedicated section bringing together major players in the sector.

The Ligue contre le cancer, the association de don du sang, Harmonie Mutuelle and the AMSS are raising public awareness of the importance of sport as a pillar of a balanced life.

This holistic approach is a reminder that sport transcends mere physical activity to become a way of life.

Year after year, the Fête des Sports consolidates its reputation as a unifying event.

It crystallises Montauban’s commitment to sport for all, revealing a city where physical activity is not a luxury but a right accessible to everyone.

This weekend of excitement is the outline of a community united by the values of sport: respect, solidarity and surpassing oneself.
