Convivial reggae festival in the heart of the Pyrenees
Festijam is a modest, family-friendly, and positive reggae festival, organized in the village of Arrens-Marsous at an altitude of 800 meters in the Hautes-Pyrénées, a few kilometers from the Spanish border. Supported by 80 volunteers, this three-day festival welcomes several hundred spectators in an exceptional mountain setting, with a budget of barely 30,000 euros – 400 times less than a festival like Vieilles Charrues. Artists return from edition to edition for the charm of the place as much as for the fee.
