Festivals and cultural events Issoire

This classical, modern and baroque music festival is organised every year, in late June/early July, in historic places such as the Issoire Abbey or Parentignat Castle. It relies on international interpreters and aims to allow the greatest number of people to have access to international concerts and performances.

The FIDEMM was created in 1987 on the initiative of Fernand Neves and members of the Folklore Issoirien. The idea is to look at the diversity of forms and expressions of folk music and dances of the world. During the festival, groups coming from all over the world, animate parades in the city center, concerts, convivial evenings and aperitifs, open air shows and dance workshops for those who would like to learn.
