Festival Latino Mâconnais
Latin dances and music in the streets of Mâcon
About F.LA.M
Mâcon in the colors of Latin America
Launched in 2024 by Malik Dellidj, manager of Zikënba, the Festival Latino Mâconnais (F.LA.M) was born from a simple desire: to make Mâcon dance to the rhythms of Latin America. By bringing together 36 establishments — associations, bars, restaurants — and with the support of the City of Mâcon, this young festival immediately found its audience and established itself as a highlight of the Mâconnais summer.
Four days of dancing and gourmet celebration
For four days in early July, the center of Mâcon transforms into a giant dance floor. The streets, the quays, and the esplanade vibrate to the sound of live Latin music concerts, SBK evenings (salsa, bachata, kizomba), rumba flamenca, tango, cumbia, and zumba. Dance workshops allow beginners to get started, while experienced dancers meet for fiery demonstrations.
Music, art, and gastronomy
F.LA.M is not limited to dance. Batucadas and percussion parades cross the streets of Mâcon, capoeira and flamenco shows animate the squares, and a Cuban painter creates live works. On the gastronomy side, about twenty restaurateurs offer menus with Latin flavors, complemented by a Petit Marché Gourmand Latino (Latin Gourmet Market) in the open air.
A popular and unifying festival
On Saturday evening, the City of Mâcon schedules bands on the Esplanade Lamartine, adding an extra festive dimension to the event. F.LA.M is a popular and unifying festival, which brings together the people of Mâcon from all origins around a universal musical and dance culture, in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
