Caussade is a hat-making city. It is therefore hardly surprising to see the city placed every year under the sign of the hat! The festival takes place in July and pays tribute to the hat in all its forms. Milliners gather on this occasion to show their know-how. Hat exhibitions are also organized to give everyone the desire to buy a hat. Do not miss the competition and musical evenings that participate in the event. An appointment that has become over the years, a must in Occitania!

In 2014, Alors... chante ! celebrates its 29th edition. The programming is always of high quality and we always appreciate more to listen to the best artists at the appointment. Among the guests of this 2014 season, it is possible to count Nathalie Matiembe, Florent Marchet, Gaëtan Roussel, Jacques Higelin, Renan Luce, Pascal Parisot, Jeanne Cherhal... for excellent evenings in perspective.

The holidays around 14 July are organized with the help of 450 volunteers and the active support of the 5 000 inhabitants. We see and hear Harley Davidson bikers, American cars, and many concerts. This festival, the first country music festival in Europe, welcomed 160 000 visitors in 2006. 73 concerts over 5 days, 2 000 dancers, over 16 hours of daily music: the hardest thing is to keep it!

In the Tarn et Garonne, here is a festival which has had a good reputation for 25 years! It is dedicated to Offenbach, in one of the most beautiful villages in France.

Recitals, aperitifs-concert, singing courses...Tables d'hôtes are set up at the end of the show and everyone can eat with the artists. It is a festival that we recommend.
