Events calendar Périgord Noir

Come and have a thrill at the beginning of the summer at the Noir Vézère Festival, which specialises in crime novels. You will meet local writers who will present their works and answer your questions, even the darkest! On the program, animations for all and dedications of about twenty authors, in a friendly atmosphere. Enough to fill your suitcase with Périgord thrillers to read on the beach or by the fire! In collaboration with the bookshop Le Maout.

Brikabrak is a transpoetic festival that combines the performing arts and poetry for young (and not so young!) audiences. After a 2023 season that jeopardized the equilibrium of the association that supports it, the festival continues to work in the region, organizing several events throughout the year. Musical storytelling, object theater, masked theater, circus, gestural poetry... The arts are adapted to young audiences aged 3 and over, and even appeal to parents and carers. Brikabrak needs your support!

A member of the very active Ciné Passion en Périgord network since 1986, Le Vox cinema is a Montignac institution. Eric, Franck and Marie Hélène keep this eclectic, cutting-edge cinema alive all year round. They leave no audience out with their selection, which includes films in VO, blockbusters and children's films, as well as mini-festivals, notably dedicated to short films, theme evenings and meetings. More than just a cinema, it's a place for cultural mediation and discovery.

For a week, Montignac vibrates to the rhythm of music and folklore from around the world. Shows and concerts are on the program, as are craft markets and exhibitions, notably in the Salle Jean Macé, which becomes a veritable treasure trove throughout the summer. Since 1981, groups and troupes from all over the world have been sharing their heritage at Montignac, along with some of the biggest names in contemporary music. In 2024, reggae star Yaniss Odua opens the festival.

It's time to immerse yourself in a most important investigation: finding Monsieur Lapin thanks to 2 animations. One for 5- to 7-year-olds, "A la recherche de Monsieur Lapin", and the other for 8- to 12-year-olds, "Top secret, le livret d'enquête de l'inspecteur Artaban". Budding investigators will be on the hunt for clues to complete their playbook and gain access to the chocolate treasure. This event is organized in partnership with Chocolats Bovetti, Terrasson.

Every year, Sarlat celebrates its fetish animal: noisy flocks of geese cavort through the medieval city, wandering between the stands where they taste the famous carcass soup (a true local tradition) offered to all to warm up. In a festive atmosphere, under the baton of a banda, foie gras cutting and making workshops are programmed in the presence of careful farmers and craftsmen eager to share their passion. But Sarlat Fest'oie wouldn't be Sarlat Fest'oie without its grand banquet, the Bodeg'oie.

The great urban agricultural festival will take place in Sarlat from September 23 to 25, 2022.
During 3 days, the essential role of agriculture will be highlighted. Its impact on the protection of the environment, animal welfare, product quality... Around the place de la Grande Rigaudie and the rue de la République: Exhibitions, strolls, small farm, agricultural competitions, contests, musical animations, catering...

With a meal of 1 000 guests planned on Saturday.
