TANGO SWING ET BRETELLES
Read moreTango Swing et Bretelles, aka TSB, has enlivened Montcelli autumn for many years. In 2024, this musical festival changed its name (not yet revealed at the time of writing) and shortened its duration, condensing to three days, from September 26 to 28. It also concentrates on a single venue, the Embarcadère. What remains unchanged, a tradition too deeply rooted for Montcelliens, is the Foire aux grattons, which will celebrate this greasy culinary specialty on Saturday in the Place de l'Eglise.
OMB FESTIVAL OUTRE-MER EN BOURGOGNE
Read moreIn early May, Montceau-les-Mines is the heart of the Overseas Festival in Burgundy, which aims to highlight the role of Saône-et-Loire in the abolition of slavery. One of its highlights in 2024 will be a recital by Marie-Claude Bottius. This lyric artist from Martinique has put together a show highlighting the abolitionist writers, musicians and composers of 19th-century French opera. It's a beautiful musical historical plunge.
