Events calendar Yonne

Organised by the Office du Chablis in partnership with the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne (BIVB) every year at the end of October, for a weekend since 1949, the Fête des vins de Chablis (Chablis Wine Festival) is an opportunity to discover and taste the four levels of the Chablis appellation (Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru) and to meet over 50 Chablis wine growers. The village comes alive thanks to the many activities around wine. A very festive weekend to be enjoyed in moderation!

For 26 years now, Avallon and the Avallonnais region have been offering Festivallon, one of France's longest-running festivals, running from July to September (or October, depending on the year). Concerts are offered in restaurants and on bar terraces in Avallon, as well as in Joux-la-Ville, Montréal and Vézelay. And even in unusual locations such as the Champ-Retard cave and the Hameau des Pierreux in Coutarnoux. This year's program includes rock, folk, pop and lots of surprises...

It is not a city, but a whole region that has embarked on the organization of this festival which was born in Auxerre in 2001. 22 years later, Dijon, Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire, Chalon-sur-Saône, Nevers, Sens, Tournus and the Bresse region of Burgundy have joined the prefecture of Yonne in this beautiful adventure. The concept? From July¹ to August 31, the terraces of cafés and restaurants come alive and give a chance to artists through free concerts.

Tournaments of the women's tennis elite taking place in the Auxerre stadium. Double and double over several days to try to win the G.D.F Suez Trophy.

A marathon for experts, enthusiasts and amateurs, to compete or to have fun. 10 km in the city, starting from the parc de l'Arbre sec. A long-awaited 6th edition.

Itinerancy is the strong point of this festival which proposes a series of concerts in Aix-en-Othe (on the Aube side), but also a cabaret on the roads of the Othe and Armance country (between Champagne and Burgundy) and a festival for young people, "Festi'Coccinelle". Local groups perform there, but not only since more than 30 years, in Saint-Florentin, Migennes or Brienon in particular, Léo Ferré (for his last concert), Diam's or Bénabar passed by there!

Every year in August, this village of Puisaye so dear to Colette comes alive: 5 days (and 5 evenings) of festivities and music. A musical, interactive and participative festival which changes its theme every year. On the program, a favorite chosen by the public, jazz, rock or electro concerts, a karaoke, a street crier, a barrel organ. Without forgetting the workshops for children and adults, and a big picnic with no waste! All this in an unparalleled good mood!

Created in 2021 by the Tonnerrois d'adoption Lambert Wilson, this festival now takes place over four days from late June to early July at various venues in and around the town.

In 2023, in the L'oeil art gallery in Tanlay and the Abel Minard gymnasium in Tonnerre. As musical director, the singer and actor continues to offer a superb line-up.
