03.20.2026	Châble Market
Local Farmers' Market A market where people can connect in a welcoming economic setting. To provide a space for interaction between producers and consumers. To promote short supply chains. To offer an alternative to big-box stores. To challenge our consumption habits.
09.10.2026	The “Magouilles” Bistro
Come see the local actors from the Bagnes theater workshop take the stage. At the “Bistrot des Magouilles,” things are falling apart! Not a single customer in sight, the bills are piling up, and the cash register is empty. But this is just the calm before the storm… Because the moment we discover that the owner isn’t who he claims to be, everything goes haywire! Lies, blackmail, misunderstandings, shenanigans, and revelations come thick and fast. The bistro descends into joyful chaos: here, boredom isn’t on the menu! Doors open one hour before the show; light refreshments are available before and after the performance. Reservations open on September 15.
10.10.2026	Misatango-Liberty
The EVM presents Misantango, where the Latin Mass meets Argentine rhythms, featuring Julien Tudisco and Johanna Hernandez. In the second half, the Swiss Youth Choir performs “Liberté,” an a cappella program conducted by Nicolas Fink. The Martigny Vocal Ensemble invites you to discover “Misantango,” a spellbinding work where the fervor of the Latin Mass meets the passion of Argentine rhythms. The bandoneon, the symbol of tango, will be played by Julien Tudisco, while Johanna Hernandez will lend her voice to this intense musical masterpiece. Next, the Swiss Youth Choir (CSJ) will present its “Liberté” program, featuring works by Schütz, Ravel, Mauersberger, and Poulenc’s cantata Figure Humaine. These pieces bridge the past and the present and musically highlight the struggle for freedom in all its dimensions: as a call for peace, a remembrance of suffering, and a youthful, inspired perspective on our world today. The CSJ concert choir brings together some fifty singers from across the country, aged 16 to 26. With a repertoire consisting exclusively of a cappella pieces, the choir celebrates the art of vocal music under the direction of Nicolas Fink.

24.10.2026	Full Moon Party with THE BADWEEDS
A choreographed concert blending singing, slam poetry, and hip-hop dance. THEBADWEEDS features a trans-species band—half-human, half-plant—whose members, strange hybrids, humorously demonstrate the incredible resilience of weeds. They grow from oblivion, from cracks, from the most inhospitable, wild, and anarchic places; they coexist with us, among us, and bring a message: the future will be plant-based! In this production, Rocio Berenguer immerses us in the festive, rhythmic atmosphere of a concert. The dance steps are borrowed from pop culture choreographies and music videos, whose conventions are subverted through an exploration of plant-like, neglected, and unproductive bodily states. The musical score, meanwhile, oscillates between danceable grooves, Afrobeats, electro, and moments of mystical tenderness. Drawing inspiration from weeds, this ecological tale joyfully explores the forms of resistance and coexistence that we have yet to invent. Faced with the infectious energy of these beings in flux, we reconnect with a sense of desire and wonder at the diversity of life. In response to the paralyzing imaginaries of fear or guilt, Rocio Berenguer invites us to “have fun together by bringing a new, non-anthropocentric world to bloom.” A complimentary plant-based appetizer will be served.
