Demi Lune Festival

A festival born by the water

It was in 2021 that La Moucherie Production launched the first Demi Lune Festival at the Étangs Demi-Lune (Halbmond) in Kolbsheim, a small village located about ten kilometers west of Strasbourg. The concept is simple and radical: to offer a music festival in the open air, on a 1.5 hectare meadow by the water, far from the standardized formats of large events. The Demi-Lune 67 association was created to perpetuate the event, which relies on a team of passionate volunteers.

Two days, two atmospheres

The Demi Lune Festival's program unfolds over two days with distinct musical identities. Friday is dedicated to alternative styles: punk, metal, independent rock, and aggressive music, for a discerning audience seeking raw energy. On Saturday, the atmosphere becomes more relaxed with an eclectic and family-friendly program, mixing rock, pop, folk, and discoveries in an outdoor village festival atmosphere. Ten bands perform over the two days, offering a dense and varied lineup.

A return to roots

The Demi Lune Festival claims a return to the roots of the outdoor festival: outdoor games, indoor and outdoor bars, vegetarian catering, low-cost camping, and unbridled conviviality. The absence of massive sponsors and the modest size of the event allow for an intimate and authentic atmosphere, where festival-goers and artists mingle in a preserved natural setting. The site, bathed by the water of the ponds and bordered by greenery, invites disconnection and sharing.

A stone's throw from Strasbourg

Located just 12 kilometers from Strasbourg, Kolbsheim offers easy access from the Alsatian metropolis while providing a complete change of scenery. The Demi Lune Festival is part of a strong local cultural dynamic, alongside other village association events like the Vert le Futur festival, confirming Kolbsheim as an alternative cultural hub in the first ring of Strasbourg.
