Festival Marché Gourmand de Coulon
Live music and local gastronomy in the heart of the Marais poitevin
About Marché Gourmand
Music and terroir in the heart of the Marais poitevin
Born in 2022 from a meeting between the association J'adore Niort and the producers of the Coulon dairy, the Festival Marché Gourmand is an original concept that combines live concerts and local gastronomy in the enchanting setting of the Marais poitevin. What was originally just a single evening gathering 4,000 people has become, in a few years, a three-day festival attracting 14,000 festival-goers.
A generous musical program
The Festival Marché Gourmand offers an eclectic and ambitious musical program that spans genres. Rock, reggae, electro, pop, French chanson, punk: headliners follow one another on the main stage over three evenings. The 2025 edition notably hosted Axel Bauer, Danakil, La Compagnie Créole, Sniper, Ultra Vomit, Hilight Tribe, and Tagada Jones, demonstrating the festival's growing ambition.
The taste of the terroir
True to its DNA, the festival highlights local producers and artisans from the Marais poitevin through a gourmet market that delights the taste buds. Cheeses, cured meats, wines, craft beers, Maraîchin specialties: festival-goers discover the flavors of the Deux-Sèvres region in a friendly and festive atmosphere.
Spectacular success
The spectacular growth of the festival — from 4,000 visitors in 2022 to 14,000 in 2025 — testifies to the quality of the event and the public's enthusiasm. The village of Coulon, the gateway to the Marais poitevin, offers an ideal bucolic setting for this summer event that vibrates to the rhythm of music and flavors.

Gourmet Market Festival 2026 — 5th edition
The Gourmet Market Festival returns for its 5th edition from August 21 to 23, 2026 in Coulon, in the heart of the Marais poitevin (Deux-Sèvres). The event combines musical programming and gastronomic discovery: a gourmet village brings together numerous food trucks and local producers around large tables, in a 'guinguette' (open-air cafe) atmosphere.
The gourmet village opens for free on Thursday evening. Concerts then take place over the three days, with an eclectic program ranging from reggae to rock, French chanson, and hip-hop.
