Festi'Déodat: A New Musical Breeze for La Déodatie

Announced in November 2025, Festi'Déodat marks the arrival of an ambitious contemporary music festival in the cultural landscape of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. Driven by the Festi'Déodat Asso association and supported by local figures including Frédéric Pigot from Radio Saint-Dié, this project was born from the desire to create a unifying musical event in the capital of La Déodatie, a city already known for its prestigious International Geography Festival.

Parc Jean Mansuy, a Natural Setting in the Heart of the City

The festival takes place in Parc Jean Mansuy, a 25,000 m² green space created in 1960, located in the hyper-center of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. This urban park, a true green lung of the Vosges city, offers an ideal setting for an open-air festival: a vast lawn, century-old trees, and immediate proximity to shops and transport. The choice of this emblematic location allows festival-goers to enjoy a friendly and intimate atmosphere, far from the industrial sites often associated with large festivals.

An Eclectic Program Between Headliners and Discoveries

Festi'Déodat's program stands out for its musical diversity. For its first edition, the festival brings together about twenty artists and bands over two evenings, with headliners such as Manu Lanvin (blues-rock), Lisa Dann (emerging French pop), and Bukowski (metal). The stage also features Cachemire, Knuckle Head, Dog'N'Style, Fergessen (a renowned pop-folk duo), and Noizy Birdz (dynamic pop-rock), offering a complete panorama of contemporary music ranging from rock to electro, including contemporary French chanson.

A Committed and Accessible Festival

Festi'Déodat aims to be an eco-responsible festival with the implementation of reusable cups, selective sorting, and limited plastic use on site. Ticketing offers accessible prices with a weekend pass at €42 and a day pass at €27, as well as reduced rates for young people and students. Tickets are available on the Weezevent platform. Concerts run from 4 PM to midnight, allowing spectators to fully enjoy the late spring afternoon in the park before vibrating to the rhythm of the concerts under the Vosges stars.

Strong Local Roots

Beyond music, Festi'Déodat is part of a cultural development dynamic in the Déodatie region. The festival benefits from the support of local and regional partners and aims to complement the event offerings of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges alongside established events like the FIG or the Festoye du Mansuy. By programming national artists while leaving ample space for regional and local talents, Festi'Déodat intends to become a springboard for the Vosges music scene and a must-attend spring event in the Grand Est region.
