Festivals and cultural events Gironde

Laughter and applause can often be heard coming straight from this little café-théâtre. That's right! The Médoc océan has its own café-théâtre, opposite the church in Carcans bourg. It's a wonderful initiative, thanks to Nathalie and Xavier. The shows are open to all, with special performances for young audiences and special evenings on New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day. The venue has lived up to its reputation: people travel from far and wide for these evenings of laughter and relaxation! And before the curtain rises, we sit down to enjoy a few tapas.

The ^3rd edition of the Festival Ciné-Notes, which takes place at the Grand Théâtre, was cancelled in 2020 because of the coronavirus. It was dedicated to "Monsters and Creatures" with Jean-Jacques Annaud as guest of honor. On the program was a symphonic concert, but also an exceptional film-concert of E.T. the Extra-terrestrial by Steven Spielberg with the sublime music of John Williams live. To open the festival, some of the greatest film music should have been performed by the Bordeaux Aquitaine National Orchestra: Gremlins, Les Dents de la mer, Jurassic Park, Frankenstein, La Mouche, La Belle et le Bête... This festival covers a wide range of very famous films with emblematic music, but also several eras of cinema, thus reaching a vast audience, both novice and music-lover. The programme also includes film lectures, film screenings with musical introductions, a jazz concert, etc.

For a long weekend, the street arts - including theater, music, circus arts and visual arts - take over the town of Rions. An ideal medieval setting for this event dedicated to the arts. Let yourself be carried away by this festival, stroll through the streets of Rions and meet the artists. Above all, keep your eyes and ears wide open, and you'll see, your smile will never leave your face. All audiences will be touched by the artists present during these three days of July: dance, theater, music, circus workshops...

Here's an event not to be missed if you're in Arcachon with the family during the summer. Every Wednesday, the Arcamômes festival takes place in the enchanting setting of the Théâtre de Verdure in the Parc Mauresque. Live shows for children aged 4 to 12: circus, music, magic, theater, your little ones (and you) will be delighted by these performances, which come to life at dusk for an even more fabulous and poetic side! Admission is free, and no reservation is necessary!
