Music 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 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!

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.

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.
