The Bidart town hall presents to you in partnership with Crédit Mutuel, the 13th edition of the Bidart en Rire Festival.
For its 13th edition, the “Bidart en Rire” festival will take you on a journey to Bidart, from the Toki-Toki library, to the Gidalekua room to the Camping Yellow Village in Illbaritz, even passing through the Getari Enea Cinema in pre-opening Guéthary. And for good reason, our beloved Beheria theater is closed for major rehabilitation and extension work.
But does that mean we should give up organizing the 13th edition of Bidart en Rire? Certainly not ! Laughter in all its forms will be present in Bidart from November 15 to 19. We're going to shake up our habits but after all, we don't care! It's so good to have a change!
