Festivals and cultural events Nièvre

At the beginning of July, for ten days, the Zaccros D'Ma Rue animate the streets of Nevers every year. At the heart of this beautiful festival, all the arts are represented: street shows, theatrical animations, in total more than 200 free performances (and for all audiences) are organized in more than twenty places in the city and in a dozen municipalities of the Nivernaise agglomeration. A warm and unmissable event. To the great joy of the 80,000 spectators who attend!

Over the years, this festival has become a true national reference. It calls on artists from the 4 corners of the world to blow a wind of blues on the city of Charente. Like every time, this new edition will see a succession of concerts that will animate the terraces, the streets of the City of the Word, the Benedictine Garden, the Monks' Cellar, the village hall or the neighboring villages. Improvised, sung, played, the blues and its variants deliver to La Charité their authentic, warm and spontaneous colors.

D'Jazz Nevers is a cultural association based in Nevers. It offers a varied program of jazz concerts throughout the year.

2020 hosts the 11th edition of this festival, which offers a dozen free concerts in the bars and restaurants of the city, every Friday from 8pm.

The concerts take place on terraces (weather permitting), and feature all musical styles, from French variety to gypsy jazz, reggae or festive rock. Enough to spend a great summer!

30 years of existence for this festival of classical music, but not only... Over the years and through its programming, Les Fêtes Musicales de Corbigny has welcomed pieces from the purest classical repertoire to tangos from overseas, from virtuoso funk to rhythm & blues and European jazz rock. Sounds that are eclectic, to say the least, but that all resonate with the most classical chamber music. Unforgettable musical experiences to be enjoyed in the mineral setting of the Abbey of Corbigny, like the dream of sweet summer nights!

Every summer, Monceaux-le-Comte hosts the theater festival Les Heures Festives, organized by Les Livreurs and Bookson. During this period, visitors can attend solo theater performances every evening from 6:45pm. These shows feature a performer who brings a play to life in one hour, with only his or her voice as ally. The festival also offers weekend workshops, from 10am to 5pm, for those wishing to learn more about literature. These include a reading aloud workshop and a solo theater workshop. Participants can enjoy a bike ride through the region, with reading breaks and a picnic on arrival. The Les Heures Festives festival takes place in the charming grounds of the former presbytery in Monceaux-le-Comte, but also offers events in the surrounding communes to showcase the local heritage.
