Music at the foot of the castle
Étranges Scènes transforms the foot of the ramparts of the Château de Jonzac into an open-air stage for two exceptional summer evenings. Labeled Sites en Scène de Charente-Maritime, this free and family-friendly festival benefits from a magnificent bucolic and rural setting, with the medieval castle on its rocky spur as a natural backdrop.
Eclectic and accessible programming
Every year in mid-July, the festival offers a varied musical program: pop, rock, folk, French variety, and artistic discoveries. The 2025 edition, celebrating the festival's 20th anniversary, will feature artists such as Kimberose, Broken Back, Nach, Okali, Bokal, and JB Solo Orchestra. The Arche en Sel company illuminates the site with a sound and light show, and the band Splash provides musical interludes. The event is open to all and particularly suitable for families.
