Festivals and cultural events Lot

Popular and cultural, the Figeac Festival transforms the heart of the town into a lively stage. Ancient, modern or contemporary texts, there is something for every taste and every interpretation. A way of giving the impulse to quality shows that are often little-known. The other side of this cultural event is in Saint-Céré at the Théâtre de l'Usine where opera plays are programmed. An opportunity to promote great music to all audiences.

Come and dance and sing along to this festival of street and field arts! Three days of shows, concerts, exhibitions and entertainment brighten up Prendeignes, in the Lot department. You can enjoy the Guinguette Magique, a cosy guinguette featuring magic shows, free plays, traditional storytelling for young and old, concerts, food stalls with local produce, and even a musical siesta. These are moments of discovery and conviviality to be enjoyed with family and friends!

Two days of celebration in the alleys and courtyards of Montcuq. Puppets, new circus, poetic clowns, theater of objects or more "classical" theater, readings, tales, concerts, the program is as rich as possible. A children's village takes place from 10 am to 7 pm with a refreshment bar, a varied and quality catering, playful and creative workshops, as well as animations. The shows are scattered throughout the city. The program is spread out over the whole day for real moments of family sharing.

Quality rural stage at the best of francophone song. It is the meeting place for lovers of words and French song. More confidential than other events in the Lot, this festival gives pride of place to song lyrics and programs of artists often confirmed, but known in rather limited circles. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big events, come and take advantage of artists and discover unknown artists of great quality.

Every summer, between Causses and Quercy, the heart of Lalbenque in the Lot department beats to the rhythm of Occitan culture. It's a time to stop and enjoy a drink or a balèti (traditional dance) with friends. Experience four days of festival in this living Occitan culture, spread across the territory and open to the world! Exhibitions, film screenings, workshops in Occitan song and traditional dance, a gourmet night market, a grand ball with a fire-eater and illuminations... A festive event not to be missed!

The dance association Traces Contemporaines celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2023.

As you stroll along, you'll come across artisan stalls, poetic and comic performances, and end your journey back in time with a festive hard folk concert!
