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!

What is Total Festum? Total Festum is Occitanie's festival of Catalan and Occitan languages and cultures. Around the summer solstice and Sant Joan, music rubs shoulders with traditional dances, totemic animals mingle with shows, literature takes center stage and fire shows light up hearts. Between conviviality, sharing and discoveries, this event is an ode to tradition and memory, a resolutely forward-looking look and an anchoring in the present. A festival where the richness comes from the world and its diversity.

Toulouse is a major stop on the men's and women's 7-a-side rugby world circuit. The event sets the Ernest Wallon stadium alight every year, and fans from all over the world come to cheer on their country. Matches take place all day long over 3 days, and the Fan Zone offers everything spectators need to enjoy the event: refreshment stands, food trucks, slide belly, rugby activities, climbing, relaxation zone, bandas... A truly festive weekend!

The centre for Choreographic Development of Toulouse-Midi-Pyrénées organizes this event featuring contemporary dance performances from France and elsewhere.

Active since 2001, the Toulouse-based association Les Vidéophages is a leading figure in the distribution of short films and image education. A genuine alternative in the audiovisual landscape, its programming is atypical, friendly and associative. Favoring partnerships with local authorities, cultural centers and educational structures, Vidéophages plays an active role in democratizing access to short films. The Faites de l'Image festival, launched in 2002, is emblematic of this desire to take images out of their context and reach out to all audiences.

In this emblematic architectural and heritage venue in Toulouse's Saint-Cyprien district, on the banks of the Garonne River, the Fragments show invites you to discover the region's arts and crafts. A total of 80 exhibitors, representing 13 departments, will be on hand to share their passion with you. You'll find a wide range of crafts: furniture, architecture, jewelry, restoration, ceramics, leather, metal, goldsmiths, paper, textiles, glass...

Every year as autumn arrives, the rue de la Colombette gets coloured: it's time to gather around a fair that has existed since 1944. It is organised by the Commune Libre de la Colombette, founded at the end of the war, which defends the craftsmen and independent shopkeepers of the district. For three days, in a joyful street market with more than two hundred exhibitors, meet shopkeepers and cultural associations involved in concerts, workshops and events. The spirit that reigns honours craftsmanship, eco-responsible behaviour, sharing... A real compendium of joie de vivre at Toulouse time!
