Festival of bands and street music in Is-sur-Tille
Fest'Is is a festival of bands and street music organized every year in May in Is-sur-Tille, in Côte-d'Or. For two days, about ten bands and batucadas invade the streets and squares of the city center for festive open-air concerts. On Sunday, the musicians visit retirement homes and specialized centers to share musical moments with residents and their families.
Created to liven up the streets of the Tillo-Issoise city, Fest'Is is a festival of bands and street music that transforms the city center of Is-sur-Tille into a vast festive stage for a weekend in May. About ten bands and a batucada take turns on different squares and intersections, creating a friendly and lively popular festival atmosphere.
The originality of Fest'Is lies in its solidarity dimension. On Sunday, the musicians leave the city center to visit retirement homes and specialized centers in the area, where they share musical moments with residents and their families. This generous initiative makes the festival unique and strengthens its roots in the local social fabric.
Fest'Is takes place alongside the Spring Fair of Is-sur-Tille, which brings together merchants, exhibitors, rides, and entertainment in the city center. The two events complement each other to offer a complete festive day, from the morning sale to the band concerts in the late afternoon and evening.
The 2026 edition of Fest'Is is scheduled for May 23rd and 24th in Is-sur-Tille. On Saturday, the bands will take over the city center for festive street concerts. Sunday will be dedicated to musical visits to retirement homes and specialized centers.
