Festivals and cultural events Niort

The Thursday evenings of summer in Niort are spent in music, with friends or family, in the gardens of the Moulin du Roc, discovering the musicians in the making. Neither really a festival nor completely a concert, and a little bit all at the same time, this event is organized by the town hall, offers free to anyone who wants, to attend the musical performances of emerging groups. Every Thursday, thousands of people flock to the banks of the Sèvre niortaise to listen to two groups grouped by theme. Whatever your musical inclinations, keep an open mind and let yourself be carried away by the musical discovery. Taste one or more quality concerts in a green setting under the inevitably clement summer skies, an invitation that can't be refused!

Every odd-numbered year, clowns from around the world gather in Niort for just over a month. You can visit them at home in their village of Duguesclin, then keep an eye on the program between the Niort festival and the caravan that will be criss-crossing the département. A cascade of antics awaits you, as well as presentations of their offbeat, poetic, tender and funny vision of the problems that plague us all, poor humans. Next rendez-vous in 2025.
