Festivals and cultural events Midi-Pyrénées

This festival of Latin and Afro-Cuban music created in 1993 is the first in Europe. Tempo Latino unfolds three days of escape and parties to the sound of artists and groups of Latin, Afro-Cuban and Caribbean music. Salsa, mambo, meringue or cumbia will set fire to the four stages, including the main stage of the arena. A street market, bars and restaurants welcome and invigorate festival-goers, and the whole town of Vic-Fezensac vibrates and dances to Latin rhythms, in a generous and mixed atmosphere.

Under the impetus of the Casa Musicale and the Region and since 1997, the festival was born from the idea of a free event for all highlighting the amateur musicians of the region. Today, Ida y Vuelta has become a must-see event in Perpignan, attracting more than 20,000 people during four days. It features renowned artists but also local, with rock, rap, pop, salsa, metal, hip-hop, world music and drums in the Bronx, without forgetting the Catalan rumba.

Les Tablées de Vic has become one of the most original events of the summer... and one of the most delicious. A culinary extravaganza based on local produce and prepared by regional and national chefs, this is the simple recipe for a more-than-perfect event. With music, concerts, entertainment, good humor and gastronomic shows, over 3,000 visitors have already taken their places in the hall to taste and admire these artists in the midst of their creations. Three days of festivities just the way we like them!

This magical place, nestled in the heart of the vineyards, lights up during five exceptional summer evenings. Since 2004, it opens its doors to great international artists of the jazz, song, pop and rock scene for concerts and dinner shows at the estate. In the presence of Gérard Bertrand and his best wines, the festival receives nearly 1,400 spectators per evening. A retrospective photo exhibition can be visited all year long in the Gallery above the Cellar.

Les Siestes Electroniques is a festival that stands out from the rest of Toulouse's artistic programming. It's a festive event, simple and rich, dedicated to emerging cultures. Initially focused on electronic music, the artistic program is now open to a wider range of adventurous creations, sometimes exuberant but always joyful. Open-air, in the pleasant Compans-Caffarelli garden, with free access, Les Siestes aims to appeal to all and arouse everyone's curiosity. They have become a fixture on the French festival scene, and often travel beyond our borders. Put your feet up on the grass and get ready for the unexpected!

5 festival days to present the diversity of audiovisual creation. Unpublished programs: music clips, television and film films, commercials, short films… Competitions are organised in each category, with different juries and many personalities. All of the projection sites are within walking distance. The entire profession is found in a iddylique framework: nature, snow, lagoon… and work! 15 000 entries in 2016, 160 projections… for this national festival that welcomes professional and general public.

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.
