Music, crafts, and conviviality in the fields of Tanus
At the place called la Crouzié, on the heights of Tanus, a small village in the north of Tarn perched between the Viaur and Cérou valleys, the Festival Atôme Crouzié has been offering a unique festival experience since the early 2020s. Here, concerts are only part of the story: the festival celebrates music as much as traditional crafts, in a spirit of transmission and rural conviviality.
The festival evenings are dedicated to live music, with a program that is not afraid of stylistic diversity. From blues to punk-rock, from rhythm and blues to salsa, including country, Brazilian music, and pop rock, each edition holds surprises and discoveries. Among the artists who have graced the stage of La Crouzié are La Bédoune, Whiskey Paradis, SLIP, La 45, Loup Malevil, Fusa, The Eeps, FREDD, Cazelle Café, and The Twin Souls.
What truly sets Atôme Crouzié apart from other festivals is its program of craft workshops offered during the day, free and open to all. Passionate artisans introduce young and old to the ancestral gestures of blacksmithing, woodturning, basketry, pottery, leatherwork, and many other traditional crafts. These living demonstrations, far from being mere shows, invite everyone to get their hands dirty and rediscover the value of making.
Sunday is particularly dedicated to families, with a plant market, circus introductions, martial arts workshops, shows for young audiences, and recycling awareness activities. Camping is available on site, and the catering highlights local Tarn products. The association Debout les Yeux animates this place year-round with a community bar and regular cultural events.
The 2026 edition of the Atôme Crouzié Festival takes place from Friday, May 8 to Sunday, May 10, 2026 at the locality of la Crouzié in Tanus. Three days that are free and open to all, combining concerts (Fusa, The Eeps, FREDD, Cazelle Café, The Twin Souls), traditional craft demonstrations and workshops, a plant market, a circus show, shared meals, and an associative bar.
