Vide-grenier Orléans Vintage Festival — Orléans

Looking back at the Orléans Vintage Festival 2025 — 7th edition

On May 16th and 17th, 2025, the Orléans Vintage Festival celebrated a memorable 7th edition, dedicated to the years 1985-2005. Over 15,000 festival-goers filled the Place de Loire, Quai de Loire, and Jardin de la Charpenterie to relive two decades full of memories: the arrival of the internet, the mobile phone revolution, cult series like X-Files, Friends, or Buffy, grunge music, 90s hip-hop, and the French pop music of the era.

The vintage car boot sale was one of the festival's highlights, with about fifty stalls offering period clothing and accessories, vinyl records, retro video games and consoles, movie and concert posters, and objects and toys from the 85-2005 years. Visitors were able to find authentic treasures from these decades in a festive and relaxed atmosphere typical of the festival.

The two-day program included open-air screenings (Friends and Dirty Dancing for the opening night on Friday), tribute concerts and performances by artists inspired by the 90s, a roller skating rink, 90s dance workshops, and numerous themed activities. The entire festival, including the car boot sale, was completely free.
