In an intimate and warm atmosphere, the festival brings together musicians and enthusiasts around a shared passion for traditional music.

A Festival for Enthusiasts and the Curious

Growing Success

The Festival No Mad is experiencing growing popularity. In 2024, the opening night was sold out, a sign of the public's interest in this winter musical event.
