As ancestral home to the vegetable which once gave glory to this former market-gardening town, Croissy pays hommage to the carrot with an annual festival held on the second weekend of September. The itinerary includes a torchlight procession, fireworks, evening DJ, mass of the 'Saint Fiacre', procession of floats, the traditional great meal “beef carrots”, a forum of local associations, fun fair, plus an outdoor movie (new in 2004)… a great festive occasion for all generations. |

Organized each year in mid-October within the charming surroundings of the Saint-Léonard chapel, the Romantic Festival is dedicated to concerts, exhibitions, readings and performances based around a musical and literary repertory. Teaching concerts and animations on instruments are also a 'big hit'. |
