Festivals and cultural events Champagne-Ardenne

Four days of music and festivities! Le Cabaret Vert attracted 127,000 festival-goers to its 2023 edition, and never ceases to thrill the crowds. 18 years of fun and sharing. Lomepal, Nekfeu, Niska, Pomme, Dionysos, the festival is open to all kinds of music and has a strong ecological conscience. But Cabaret Vert isn't just a music festival, it's also a comics festival, bringing some forty talented artists to the fore each year, as well as street shows and screenings.

In May, organized by cultural Alternative, in partnership with the City of Saint-Dizier, the festival of school and amateur troops of the Champagne-Ardenne region, all framed by professionals, presents about thirty pieces across the city.

Every other year, some 150 troupes from 5 continents come to present their puppet shows! Now a worldwide event, it is aimed more at adults than children, who will nevertheless find plenty to dream about. Poetry is on every street corner in Charleville-Mézières. There's also an "off" festival version, which brings the city's streets to life like an urban fairy tale. See you in 2025!

Every year around May 10 (in reference to Dimey), this festival celebrates French poetry and song and pays tribute to the poet-chansonnier, a child of the village, Bernard Dimey.

Many artists went through the stage of the nogentese cultural center: Juliette, Barcella, Thomas Pitiot, General Tour, François Corbier, Graeme Allwright… But this festival also involves exhibitions, tributes, films… Dimey, who would be suing us' I am sure of interest later, you will have machines to speak the dead ', did not mistake: He is still there, with lovers of poetry sung like Yves Jamait… The association also offers occasional shows. Jean-Claude Dreyfus has been released to play there. Intimate but with a beautiful palette of shows!

It is the story of a single monument in France: that of the church of Asfeld, to the singular baroque architecture evoking a violin of gambe, which is the rendez-vous of baroque music brought to the bues thanks to its exceptional framework for lovers of luth, theorina, floral flute, inspired singing and, of course, violin. The 10 th edition of the 10 th edition will be held in June 2018: concerts, toy salon, initiation to the violin of gambe… What to spend a very entertaining and rewarding weekend.

We take as much pleasure in going through the scenes as in observing the sparkling eyes of the children, huddled together.
