Festival International Harmonicas sur Cher

ℹ️ 2026 Edition not confirmed — festival currently on hold.

The last publicly documented edition of the Festival International Harmonicas sur Cher is the 11th, which took place from May 25 to 27, 2017 in Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher (Loir-et-Cher). Since then, no edition has taken place in 2019, 2021, 2023, or 2025 despite the historic biennial rhythm on Ascension weekend, and no public source confirms a 2026 edition.

Some of the festival's founders (Julien Cormier, Christophe Minier) launched a new harmonica festival in 2023 called « De l'Hers dans les anches », organized by the association Calmont'le son in Calmont (Haute-Garonne), which also takes place on Ascension weekend in even years. If the Saint-Aignan festival were to resume, the information would be relayed by the Saint-Aignan town hall, the Val de Cher Controis tourist office, and the Facebook page of the Harmonicas sur Cher association.
