Festivals and cultural events Rhônes-Alpes

The 11 th edition of Pérouges Spring will take place from May 26 th to June 25 th. The festival Spring de Pérouges-Plaine de l'Ain was born in October 1996. Its main objective was the valorisation and animation of the heritage sites of the city, including the medieval city of Pérouges, but also other prestigious sites such as some private castles in the vicinity of Pérouges, the Priory of Blyes, etc. The festival also brings an original value for industrial sites. Concerts were held at the TGV train STATION of Lyon Saint-Exupéry, the Boules de Saint-Vulbas, the Mill gin… A mix of rhythm and places to honour music.

A flagship event for lovers of Romantic music in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region since 1979, the Berlioz Festival makes La Côte-Saint-André shine every August.

This festival that takes place every year in July transforms, during two days of free festivities, Rochetaillée in a small Celtic city. Concerts of Celtic music, animation, sale of handicraft and local products hurdles the festival.

Begun in 1980 at the instigation of the Art and Music Association, the Music Festival of Ambronay wins every year. Based on a repertoire based on ancient and baroque music from the th to the th century on instruments of the th century, the festival takes place in September and October in an optional framework such as the Ambronay Abbey or the Parlement Parliament (some representations also at the Maurice Ravel Auditorium in Lyon). On the margins of concerts, conferences and exhibitions allow everyone to deepen the theme raised each year while "party on the street", a great festive and popular event, invariably marks the beginning of each festival.

Because Lyonnais and visitors alike forget that Lyon is a city of water, crossed by two great rivers, the Rhône and the Saône, the City of Lyon has put water at the center of a festival. At the beginning of July, the second edition will take place - the first having been a real success - of an event with a particularly rich program, with numerous free outdoor activities for all publics. Look out for the famous Mâchecroute, a sea monster, returning to the waters of the Rhône near the Guillotière bridge!

Overheating of the zygomatic in sight: funny, funny, hilarious with the best of the national comedy scene in the program. Three evenings, three stages for a contest of the best comedian among the young promising talents present, and a renowned artist for Saturday evening.

Printemps du Livre is an event organized by the City of Grenoble and its municipal libraries, in partnership with bookshops. For the ^22nd edition, a host of authors will be on hand for readings, round-table discussions, performances, urban exhibitions and book signings...

The various concerts take on a variety of forms, either in unusual locations or on walks. Prices are very affordable.

Light on a hip-hop dance festival that, for a whole week, welcomes artists from all over the world to deliver their own dance language. Hip-hop, which originated in the American ghettos, has now found its place on the scene. And what a scene, since it's about The Blue Hour. Among the highlights of this festival: workshops open to all, beginners and advanced, masterclasses, but above all the famous battle evening. A hip-hop classic that these "clashes" danced where each team (crew, team...) provokes the other. A Festival full of excitement and excitement, in which everyone can participate simply by moving their feet on good sound.

What better way to liven up a village than with a festival combining music and street art? The streets of Saint-Gervais are transformed into a veritable stage. Artists turn the public space into a giant festival, with music, street dance, theater, comedians and numerous street performances, each more eccentric than the last. For music lovers, there's something for everyone on the dance floor in the heart of the village: soul, funk, blues, pop, DJ, jazz, rock, electro-swing and street bands...

The Rire & Magie festival, held in Saint-Péray, is jointly organized by the Compagnie Zinzoline, a local association whose aim is to develop the street, performing and visual arts, and more specifically the practice of mime and gestural theater. The two-day program includes shows, trick fairs, comedy and magic competitions. Saturday evening features a gala with international artists, and Sunday a show for families. A weekend full of sleight-of-hand for young and old alike.

An extraordinary festival in an extraordinary place. An electronic music festival held in the gardens of the Musée Dauphinois. It's early summer, it's hot (no changing rooms, so dress accordingly) and you want to dance to the sounds of DJ sets that go on until nightfall. There's plenty to eat and drink, and plenty of dancing and fun to be had on a dancefloor set in an incredible setting at the foot of the Bastille.

Adjacent to the brasserie of the same name, Le Méliès cinema screens films that you probably won't find in other cinemas in town. Independent and heritage cinema, films in VO, must-see films in VF... This venue screens 5 to 6 international feature-length films a week, and is a favorite with all cinephiles. Le Méliès is also two cinemas, offering twice as many screenings: the largest is located on Place Jean Jaurès, with 4 screens, and the other in the Saint-François district (bonus: a room with a balcony!). It is also one of the few cinemas to offer solidarity tickets for people on low incomes.

The BWd12 festival, which takes place every year in the green theatre of the Château de Saint-Victor, is the best way to discover chamber music in a spirit of pleasure. The amphitheatre is a perfect venue for this event because of its size, acoustics, visibility and magnificent views of the Loire. All the conditions are there to listen, play and share music. For the past 12 years, this event has become a must for summer evenings in the Loire Gorges.

It's in the magical setting of the Château de Crussol that this festival was born in 2017 on the initiative of singer Zaz. On the program: musical siestas, improvisation shows, themed workshops and concerts. But also joy, good humor, conferences, workshops and delicacies. Let's salute this citizen initiative by the Azimut association, eager to create a convivial event to reflect together on a better world, but also to share and feast, a citizen village with stands and two concert evenings to boot.

A large-scale festival to thrill you! On the program: 4 take-offs, 25 hot-air balloons, 45 musicians and artists for an exceptional experience! The whole family can enjoy musical take-offs in the heart of the village, at the Domaine du Peyron, a night-time sound and light show of hot-air balloons, live concerts, entertainment and strolls, not forgetting the convivial Saturday evening meal (reservations required)! A show for young and old that will light up the sparkles in everyone's eyes. Friday morning is reserved for schoolchildren.

The aim of this association is to promote and teach gospel music throughout the year through workshops of vocal practice of contemporary and traditional works of blues and soul music. Every year the Absolute Gospel Festival is organised in Lyon, in which many great names of the scene take part.

The festival Les Oreilles en Pointe has been in existence for almost 30 years, it is the oldest song event in the Saint-Etienne region.
