About Bandas in Condom
Bandas in Condom: 50 years of music and celebration
The European Festival of Bandas y Peñas was born in 1973 in Condom, in the heart of Gascony. For over 50 years, it has brought together music lovers of brass bands and bandas every second weekend of May for a unique event in Europe.
35 bandas and 2,000 musicians
The festival brings together over 35 bandas and 2,000 amateur musicians from all over Europe. The streets of Condom resonate with the sound of brass and percussion, with parades, street concerts, and friendly competitions. The atmosphere is one of celebration, conviviality, and sharing.
Concerts and entertainment
Beyond the bandas, the festival offers contemporary music concerts on the main stage. Renowned artists like Cali have performed in previous editions. Landes races, a touch rugby match, and street entertainment complete the program.
Bodegas and gastronomy
The bodegas set up throughout the city offer Gascon specialties and tapas. Armagnac flows freely in a festive atmosphere that lasts late into the night.
