Festivals and cultural events 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.

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!

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 Unpublished programs: music clips, television and film films, commercials, short films… Competitions are organised in each category, with different juries and many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.

The holidays around 14 July are organized with the help of 450 volunteers and the active support of the 5 000 inhabitants. We see and hear Harley Davidson bikers, American cars, and many concerts. This festival, the first country music festival in Europe, welcomed 160 000 visitors in 2006. 73 concerts over 5 days, 2 000 dancers, over 16 hours of daily music: the hardest thing is to keep it!

In the Tarn et Garonne, here is a festival which has had a good reputation for 25 years! It is dedicated to Offenbach, in one of the most beautiful villages in France. It is a festival of opera and opéra-bouffe, in the natural setting of the castles, with professional singers. Recitals, aperitifs-concert, singing courses...Tables d'hôtes are set up at the end of the show and everyone can eat with the artists. It is a festival that we recommend.

Prestigious artists from all over the world to interpret and promote classic world in the superb setting of the abbey of Saint-Pierre.

For more than 28 years, this festival entirely dedicated to drollets ("children" in Occitan) has been attracting young and old alike. During a weekend, the whole village of Simorre becomes a playground for the little ones. Circus, painting, pottery, music, board games, dance... with each workshop new discoveries. Just stroll through the streets and stop in front of the stands to discover a new activity. Of course, many street animations and shows will take place throughout the day!
