Open-air contemporary music festival in La Voulte-sur-Rhône
Since 1987, the Festival des Kiosques à Musique has been bringing La Voulte-sur-Rhône to life every summer around August 15th. Organized by the Orcavou association, managed exclusively by volunteers, this festival is one of the oldest musical events in Ardèche. It offers free open-air concerts in the enchanting setting of Parc Baboin-Jaubert, a former 19th-century foundry site, and on Place Camille Debard.
The Kiosques à Musique program covers a wide spectrum of current music: jazz, rock, chanson, world music, blues, folk, rap and many other styles. The Orcavou association's mission is to introduce the richness of often little-known contemporary music to as many people as possible, by programming both emerging artists and established groups.
The festival unfolds over several evenings spread across two weekends around August 15th. The precise program for each edition (dates, evenings, and times) is announced by the association on its official website and its ticketing page. The 2025 edition, the 37th of its kind, had introduced circus entertainment by Collectif Puzzle (acrobatics and juggling) to entertain the public during openings and intermissions.
The Festival des Kiosques à Musique operates on the principle of voluntary participation: admission is free and each spectator contributes according to their means. This policy guarantees the accessibility of musical culture for all. The on-site refreshment stand and catering, managed by Orcavou volunteers, contribute to the festive and friendly atmosphere that has characterized the festival for nearly four decades.
The 38th edition of the Festival des Kiosques à Musique will take place in August 2026 in La Voulte-sur-Rhône, organized by the Orcavou association. Five evenings of open-air concerts are scheduled at Parc Baboin-Jaubert, spread over two weekends (August 7 and 8, then August 13, 14, and 15), in the spirit of musical discovery and conviviality that has made the festival famous since 1987. Access is by free and conscious participation.
