"The Village Fete" (also known as "The Village Festival" or "La Kermesse") is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1635-1638. The painting is celebrated for its vivid depiction of a rural celebration in the Flemish countryside, showcasing Rubens' mastery in capturing the exuberance and dynamism of peasant life.

Measuring 149 cm × 261 cm, the artwork is a large-scale composition that teems with life and movement, illustrating a festive scene where villagers engage in dancing, feasting, and merrymaking. The central focus of the painting is a lively dance, where couples whirl around to the music played by a group of musicians. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush trees and a blue sky, which adds to the atmosphere of a joyous outdoor celebration.

Rubens' use of color and light in "The Village Fete" is particularly noteworthy, with the artist employing a warm palette to enhance the sense of vitality and pleasure. The figures are rendered with a sense of weight and volume that is characteristic of Rubens' style, and their animated expressions and gestures contribute to the overall sense of realism and immediacy in the painting.

"The Village Fete" is often interpreted as an idealized representation of peasant life, reflecting the social and cultural interests of the 17th-century Flemish aristocracy. The painting is also seen as an example of Rubens' interest in the Northern Renaissance tradition of genre painting, which focused on scenes of everyday life.

Today, "The Village Fete" is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be admired for its lively portrayal of a traditional Flemish festival and its significance within the oeuvre of one of the most influential artists of the Baroque period.
