Kermesse(kɛʀmɛs): - fête, foire, fair, festival
Each June, the PTA organizes the Kermesse International Fair, one of the longest-running traditions at Ecolint. Kermesse is a day of fun, food, music, social impact projects, and community spirit, bringing together students, parents, and staff for a joyful celebration while supporting a good cause. This fun-filled day provides a unique opportunity to raise funds, with 100% of the net proceeds reinvested into our school community. Ten percent of these funds support student-led humanitarian causes and trips, while the remaining 90% are allocated by the PTA Kermesse Grants Committee.
Join us for this wonderful tradition and help make a positive impact on our school community!
From Falafel to Tacos to Pimms Cocktails to Singaporean delights, indulge in a culinary journey around the world! With food from 21 countries, there's something for everyone.

Get ready for a blast with our bouncy castles, including the crowd-favorite bungee trampoline. Dive into games and get creative with crafts. Plus, our friendly animators will be there to ensure the kids have a fantastic and safe time.
Enjoy a full day of performances from talented students across two stages. Come listen to the best of La Châtaigneraie and cheer on your friends as they showcase their musical talents.
Kermesse wouldn't be possible without the support of our incredible volunteers. Whether you can spare an hour at the Fun Zone, Eco Point, or Welcoming Guests, your help is invaluable. Sign up now to be a part of this unforgettable day!
Join us in making the Kermesse International Fair a fun and eco-friendly event! In partnership with Parents 4 the Planet, the La Châtaigneraie PTA is committed to hosting sustainable events to help protect our planet. This year, we’re using rented reusable plates, cups, and cutlery to reduce waste. You can join the effort by:
Bringing Your Own Water Bottle: Stay hydrated and cut down on plastic waste. We will provide several refill stations.
Bringing Reusable TakeAway Containers: There are always too many delicious food options at Kermesse. Plan ahead and bring reusable food containers to take home extra portions of your favorites to enjoy later!
Returning Reusable Items: Drop off rented plates, cutlery, and cups at our designated EcoPoints.
Sorting Waste Correctly: Use the proper bins for food waste, bottles, and other recyclables to keep our event green.
Let’s make Kermesse International Fair a blast while taking care of our planet!
