Festival des Horizons

Festival des Horizons in Saint-Avertin

The Festival des Horizons is one of the largest free open-air festivals in Touraine, bringing together over 15,000 spectators each year at the Domaine de Cangé in Saint-Avertin, Indre-et-Loire. Organized by the City of Saint-Avertin, this festive event takes place every last weekend of June and offers a diverse musical program accessible to all.

Two days of concerts at the Domaine de Cangé

The Domaine de Cangé, a magnificent tree-lined park on the banks of the Cher, offers an ideal setting for this major festival. The main stage, set up in front of the château, hosts national and international artists for two evenings of concerts that blend:

• French chanson: iconic headliners from the French-speaking music scene
• World music: artists from around the globe for a planetary musical journey
• Pop and variety: popular artists who get the crowd going
• Traditional music: ensembles that highlight the richness of global musical cultures

2025 Edition: an exceptional program

The 2025 edition featured a remarkable lineup with Yannick Noah as the headliner, Belgian singer Marka, Cuban singer Haïla Mompié, and the Japanese drum group Enishi, perfectly illustrating the festival's international scope.

Much more than just music

The Festival des Horizons is not just about concerts. Each edition offers:

• An artisan village with local creators
• World food stalls offering international cuisine
• A children's area with activities dedicated to kids
• Association stands showcasing local organizations

A flagship event for Saint-Avertin

The Festival des Horizons has become an identity event for the town of Saint-Avertin, bordering Tours. Its success is based on its complete freeness, accessibility for all audiences, and the quality of a program that blends established artists and new discoveries. The Domaine de Cangé, with its 18th-century château and majestic park, helps make each edition an unforgettable moment.
