Festivals and cultural events Canal du Midi

This magical place, nestled in the heart of the vineyards, lights up during five exceptional summer evenings. Since 2004, it opens its doors to great international artists of the jazz, song, pop and rock scene for concerts and dinner shows at the estate. In the presence of Gérard Bertrand and his best wines, the festival receives nearly 1,400 spectators per evening. A retrospective photo exhibition can be visited all year long in the Gallery above the Cellar.

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!

Since 1997, this festival has brought the city of Sète to life with more than 650 poetic and musical encounters, at the rhythm of more than 80 daily meetings in public or private gardens, in squares, in streets transformed for a few days into gardens, on the breakwater, at the Théâtre de la Mer, on a boat... The festival welcomes more than a hundred poets from all over the Mediterranean who are surrounded by numerous artists, storytellers, musicians, singers, actors and visual artists who offer concerts, workshops and exhibitions.

What is Total Festum? Total Festum is Occitanie's festival of Catalan and Occitan languages and cultures. Around the summer solstice and Sant Joan, music rubs shoulders with traditional dances, totemic animals mingle with shows, literature takes center stage and fire shows light up hearts. Between conviviality, sharing and discoveries, this event is an ode to tradition and memory, a resolutely forward-looking look and an anchoring in the present. A festival where the richness comes from the world and its diversity.

Jazz à Sète is one of the most awaited festivals of the summer by music lovers. It welcomes prestigious and even mythical artists and music lovers from all over the world. The ingredients for its success are simple: a thousand shades of jazz, a beautiful conviviality and a magical setting with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. Every summer at the Théâtre de la Mer, the legends of the genre are honored; their notes intertwine and intertwine to offer the public unforgettable musical stops.

The centre for Choreographic Development of Toulouse-Midi-Pyrénées organizes this event featuring contemporary dance performances from France and elsewhere.
