Events calendar Midi-Toulousain

This festival of Latin and Afro-Cuban music created in 1993 is the first in Europe. Tempo Latino unfolds three days of escape and parties to the sound of artists and groups of Latin, Afro-Cuban and Caribbean music. Salsa, mambo, meringue or cumbia will set fire to the four stages, including the main stage of the arena. A street market, bars and restaurants welcome and invigorate festival-goers, and the whole town of Vic-Fezensac vibrates and dances to Latin rhythms, in a generous and mixed atmosphere.

The Compagnie des Archers du Papogay was founded in 1585. Since then, the tradition of Papogay shooting has remained alive and well in the town of Rieux-Volvestre. The festivities include three days of serenades, with a ball, a medieval show, a royal parade, folk dances and, of course, Papogay shooting: with a bow or crossbow, you aim at a target represented by a wooden bird, perched at the end of a pole, called the Papogay. A picturesque event not to be missed, which puts tradition in the spotlight!

Organized by the Young Farmers of the Tarn, this great event honors all the productions of the soil. Every year, on the first Friday and Saturday of August, more than 10,000 gourmets gather to celebrate the Lautrécoise tradition. On the programme: a professional market, tastings and exhibitions, but also folk dancing, a competition for the best garlic tart, a pink garlic walk, a treasure hunt and various activities for children, not forgetting a big dance. A popular and joyful festival that will delight the eyes and the taste buds.

Les Tablées de Vic has become one of the most original events of the summer... and one of the most delicious. A culinary extravaganza based on local produce and prepared by regional and national chefs, this is the simple recipe for a more-than-perfect event. With music, concerts, entertainment, good humor and gastronomic shows, over 3,000 visitors have already taken their places in the hall to taste and admire these artists in the midst of their creations. Three days of festivities just the way we like them!

Les Siestes Electroniques is a festival that stands out from the rest of Toulouse's artistic programming. It's a festive event, simple and rich, dedicated to emerging cultures. Initially focused on electronic music, the artistic program is now open to a wider range of adventurous creations, sometimes exuberant but always joyful. Open-air, in the pleasant Compans-Caffarelli garden, with free access, Les Siestes aims to appeal to all and arouse everyone's curiosity. They have become a fixture on the French festival scene, and often travel beyond our borders. Put your feet up on the grass and get ready for the unexpected!

Caussade is a hat-making city. It is therefore hardly surprising to see the city placed every year under the sign of the hat! The festival takes place in July and pays tribute to the hat in all its forms. Milliners gather on this occasion to show their know-how. Hat exhibitions are also organized to give everyone the desire to buy a hat. Do not miss the competition and musical evenings that participate in the event. An appointment that has become over the years, a must in Occitania!

Every year the Flower Festival takes place in Bagnères-de-Luchon at the end of August. During several days, many activities are programmed such as running, election of Miss Flower, laser and pyrotechnic show, concerts, shows, bandas and batucada training... The highlight of the show is, of course, the parade of floats in flower in the town centre of Luchon on the last day. For its 2020 edition - the 121st! - the theme puts the French regions in the spotlight. A spectacular and particularly lively traditional festival, not to be missed!

5 festival days to present the diversity of audiovisual creation. Unpublished programs: music clips, television and film films, commercials, short films… Competitions are organised in each category, with different juries and many personalities. All of the projection sites are within walking distance. The entire profession is found in a iddylique framework: nature, snow, lagoon… and work! 15 000 entries in 2016, 160 projections… for this national festival that welcomes professional and general public.

In 2014, Alors... chante ! celebrates its 29th edition. The programming is always of high quality and we always appreciate more to listen to the best artists at the appointment. Among the guests of this 2014 season, it is possible to count Nathalie Matiembe, Florent Marchet, Gaëtan Roussel, Jacques Higelin, Renan Luce, Pascal Parisot, Jeanne Cherhal... for excellent evenings in perspective.
