Arverne Reggae Festival: Reggae Vibrations in Auvergne
Since 2019, the Arverne Reggae Festival has been making the banks of the Allier river in Brassac-les-Mines vibrate to the sound of reggae, dub, and sound systems. Supported by the association Les Jeunes Mine de Rien, this festival has quickly established itself as the unmissable event for the reggae scene in Auvergne, attracting a loyal and passionate audience.

Among the artists who have graced the festival stage are O.B.F Sound System, Hilight Tribe, Mad Professor, Yaniss Odua, Brain Damage, and many others.
