Festivals and cultural events Pyrénées-Atlantiques

Hestiv'Òc is a total immersion in Occitan culture, showcasing its language, music, dance and traditions. To the rhythm of local music and dance, local and international groups perform on stage, offering a variety of styles, from traditional folk to contemporary music. You won't be able to resist getting up and dancing to the sound of accordions, tambourines and fiddles. The philosophy remains to offer free shows, and to encourage eco-responsible gestures such as car-pooling and reusable cups. A flagship event for southern cultures, including the Béarnaise, to experience from the inside!

For its^2nd edition, the Biarritz festival aims above all to reveal the cinematic talents of tomorrow, and put the spotlight on the work of budding, emerging and established filmmakers. For 5 days, a jury of artists under the age of 35 will share with the public theatrical and open-air screenings, concerts, exhibitions and meetings with guests of honor. The festival may just be the place to discover the great filmmakers of tomorrow.

This increasingly successful festival is unquestionably one for the mind. Meetings and debates around a theme bring together writers, philosophers, journalists and a public eager for reflection. "What is there to believe in? "A desire to live" "Rebuilding oneself". These events are part of the town's DNA. The event is free of charge, but booking a place is highly recommended. In addition to the literary fair and book signings, the festival dedicates an area to teenagers. For a few days, the prestigious Palais Beaumont will be filled with the spirit of the event...

This former railway station, located in the heart of Biarritz, has been completely renovated and is just a 5-minute walk from other convention centers. Behind its facade, 1,400 seats with a 600 m² stage and a 127^m² screen and another 230 seats, ten rooms from 50 m² to 310 m² over 4,000^m² and a terrace and reception hall of 310 m² each. It is the venue for special events and festivals, making it one of the most sought-after venues in Aquitaine. With over 100 shows to its name, it also plays host to the stars and groups of the moment.

Vibrations and emotions are shared with this festival, which takes place at the end of June and offers astonishing musical experiences around the theme of percussion. The festival takes place at the Hédas, but events also take place at other venues in Palais (Foirail, media libraries) and beyond (Maison de la Musique in Montardon, Espace Daniel Balavoine in Bizanos). On the program: film-concerts, shows for young audiences, and of course concerts featuring world-renowned drummers and percussionists. Giant batucadas, strolls and sound walks will thrill the hearts and ramparts of the château for a weekend. A great way to celebrate the arrival of summer.
