Festival de l'Arbre Creux

10th and final edition: THE LAST by the Aubépin river

The Festival de l'Arbre Creux celebrated its 10th and final edition on July 19 and 20, 2024 at Les Planchas in Laussonne. After ten years of conviviality, music, and sharing, this group of friends and cousins offered a memorable final festive weekend.

On Friday evening, the festivities kicked off with Junkyard Crew at 8:30 PM, followed by Samarabalouf at 10:00 PM, a festive group mixing French chanson, bal musette, and gypsy swing, before closing the evening with Les Vieilles Valises at 11:45 PM, an iconic band blending rock, reggae, and accordion.

On Saturday, an aperitif concert with Paddy's at 6:00 PM launched the second evening in a Celtic and friendly atmosphere. The program continued with Dïak at 8:30 PM, Boucan at 10:00 PM, and Le Grand Terminus at 11:45 PM, offering a grand finale to this ten-year festival adventure.

As every year, Saturday afternoon welcomed the public for free with an artisan market, children's activities, and exploration of the permaculture gardens.
