Festiv'Ours

Three evenings of music in the heart of a medieval town

Festiv'Ours is a summer music festival that takes place every year on the Market Square of Dambach-la-Ville, a wine jewel in the foothills of the Vosges. For three consecutive evenings, on the third weekend of July, the municipality and its associations invite residents and visitors to share moments of celebration and music in an exceptional medieval setting.

An eclectic and accessible musical program

Each evening of Festiv'Ours features different bands and artists, offering a rich and varied musical palette: rock, pop, French chanson, world music, folk, and many other genres follow one another on the open-air stage. The program favors diversity to appeal to all audiences, from families to live music lovers. Admission is completely free, making it a particularly popular and accessible event.

Dambach-la-Ville: a wine and heritage setting

Dambach-la-Ville is one of the most beautiful wine towns on the Alsace Wine Route. Surrounded by its largely preserved medieval ramparts, the town has remarkable architectural heritage with its colorful half-timbered houses, its three fortified gates, and its Romanesque Saint-Sébastien chapel. Dambach's vineyard is the largest in the Bas-Rhin, and the Grand Cru Frankstein terroir produces exceptional wines, particularly renowned Rieslings and Gewurztraminers.

Alsatian flavors and conviviality

Festiv'Ours would not be complete without its gastronomic dimension. Local associations run stands offering tarte flambée (flammekueche), pretzels, grilled meats, and burgers, all accompanied by Alsatian wines produced by the village winemakers. The warm atmosphere, under the illuminated ramparts, creates a unique moment of sharing between locals and visitors.

A unifying event driven by associations

Organized jointly by the municipality of Dambach-la-Ville and its associations, Festiv'Ours is the result of a collective commitment that reflects the vitality of the local associative fabric. This family-friendly and convivial festival has become a must-attend summer event in the Alsatian vineyards, attracting thousands of visitors each year to enjoy the music, wine, and incomparable charm of this medieval town.
