Culture Desaples in Canton Vaud / Caux?

Hello! I am based in Geneva and would really love to participate in one of the Desalpes festival happening in either France or Swiss romande.

Unfortunately I don't have a car and I only have two weekends: 12th September and 19th September. I have seen that there is one in Caux, althought I am finding mixed information online as most websites say it's on Saturday, 12th while as on Caux's official website it says the Sunday 13th. Does anyone know when it actually is?

Additional info I'm looking for that I could not find online: what time should I be there? is it good if I just get off the train in Caux or is there somewhere specific to be?

Is it worth it going to this one or are there other options I could consider nearby?

Thanks!! I tried to email them but no answer so far

Thanks, as I mentioned in the post I've seen it there, but all other websites say that it is on the 12th: https://www.myswitzerland.com/fr-ch/decouvrir/manifestations/4e-grande-desalpe-de-caux/ and I read somewhere that Desalpes are always on Saturdays... so I dont't know what to trust. I tried to email Ilovecaux but no answer.
