Concerts by the lake and village festival in Castelnau-de-Montmiral
Born in 2025 from the transformation of the Musicales de Montmiral after fifteen years of success, the Les Terres Rouges Festival is the new musical event in Castelnau-de-Montmiral, in the heart of Occitan Tuscany. Spread over two sites — the Vère-Grésigne leisure center for evening concerts and the village of Montmiral for a free daytime festival — this event brings together 8,000 festival-goers and 270 volunteers around values of conviviality, good music, and joie de vivre. Folk, chanson, reggae, rock, hip-hop: all music finds its place here.
The Les Terres Rouges Festival was born in 2025 from the metamorphosis of the Musicales de Montmiral, a festival that enchanted the village of Castelnau-de-Montmiral and its surroundings for fifteen years. Supported by a hundred passionate volunteers and thousands of loyal festival-goers, the new festival retains the DNA of its predecessor — conviviality, good music, joie de vivre, simplicity, and the pleasure of good food — while opening up to new ambitions.
Les Terres Rouges unfolds across two complementary sites. During the day, the village of Montmiral hosts a free festival: a flea market and artisan market, an educational farm, plastic arts and kirigami workshops, traditional wooden games, an exhibition of vintage cars, and afternoon shows — theater, storytelling, magic, music, and equestrian stunts. At 6:30 PM, an aperitif-concert in the village square kicks off the evening.
In the evening, head to the Vère-Grésigne leisure center, by the lake, for paid concerts. Free shuttles and the Catétou path connect the two sites. The exceptional natural setting of the lake, surrounded by wooded hills and vineyards, gives the concerts a magical atmosphere under the stars.
The festival highlights local and emerging talents, offering a stage open to all musical styles: French chanson, folk, reggae, rock, ska-punk, hip-hop, and world music. This musical diversity, combined with the friendly atmosphere of the place and the quality of the volunteer welcome, makes Les Terres Rouges a unique festival on the Tarn music scene.
The 2nd edition of the Les Terres Rouges Festival will be held from July 16 to 18, 2026 in Castelnau-de-Montmiral, with concerts by Lake Vère-Grésigne and a free festival in the village. Program to be announced on lesterresrouges.net.
