Festival de Montfort 2016 - 16th edition
The 16th edition of the Festival de Montfort, from August 4th to 6th, 2016, marked the 20th anniversary of the Ama Garrigue association. Under the theme of puppets, this edition transformed the Coteaux de Ponfiges site into a fantasy world where giant puppets adorned the bars, refreshment stands, and stalls.
On Thursday, August 4th, the opening evening featured an open-air cinema screening of the documentary about Massilia Sound System, the famous Marseille reggae band. The screening at 10 PM was preceded by an aperitif at 7 PM and accompanied by a full dinner featuring Provençal daube (by reservation).
On Friday, August 5th, the soul, trip-hop, and reggae evening showcased local DJs Märzahse and Johan Stross, who got the crowd dancing with their genre-mixing sets.
On Saturday, August 6th, the hip-hop and electro evening was headlined by Puppetmastaz, an international hip-hop group known for their performances with giant puppets representing the band members on stage, perfectly fitting the edition's theme. The atmosphere was described as "punchy" with a lot of humor and audience participation.
