Festivals and cultural events Franche-Comté

The Nuits de Joux festival is synonymous with a fortnight of summer festivities in the magnificent and famous Château de Joux, and in the theaters of the adjacent town of Pontarlier. On the program: musical and theatrical shows, entirely created and performed by the local Nuits de Joux troupe or by guest artists. More than fifteen artists to be found in an exceptional setting and with an unprecedented content. Not to be missed!

One of the most popular festivals in the Francs-Comtois region, and the only major music festival in Haute-Saône. What a line-up! Benjamin Biolay, IAM, Ko Ko Mo, Kendji Girac, Martin Solveig, 2097, Christophe Maé... have already performed here, and at the time of going to press, the line-up for the 2024 edition has not yet been defined. But there's no doubt that these three days will once again be a time for sharing and conviviality, to the eclectic sounds of the various artists on stage. A great event for the whole family.

A must-see event in Belfort! On the peninsula of the Malsaucy natural site, more than 90,000 festival-goers (including 15,000 campers!) gather every first weekend in July. They come to celebrate the summer and celebrate in the open air, on several stages, big stars and nice discoveries. Launched in 1989, the Eurockéennes are now one of the most important music festivals in France and are open to many styles: rock, reggae, world, electro, metal, pop, folk.

For 39 years, this festival has been promoting daring international cinema! Hundreds of filmmakers from all horizons compete for this prize, which is gradually gaining momentum and recognition in the film world! An initiative that deserves to be applauded.

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!
