Summer Of Rom Festival

A festival born from passion and friendship

The Summer Of Rom Festival is an electronic music festival held every summer in Laburgade, on farmland located between Lalbenque and Laburgade, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy. This adventure began in 2020, after the first lockdown, under the name Summer Of Love Festival, with the aim of enriching the local cultural offerings of the Lot by providing an original program in an intimate outdoor setting.

A tribute to Romain

In 2023, the festival changed its name to become the Summer Of Rom Festival, in tribute to Romain Dolo, a founding member of the Ren'Art collective, who tragically died in a road accident in late 2022. This name change carries Romain's memory at the heart of each edition, and a solemn tribute is paid to him at the close of each festival.

A rich and eclectic electronic program

Summer Of Rom offers a musical program that embraces the full diversity of electronic music. On its two stages, Rodolfo and Tudurüm, emerging local and Toulouse artists perform alongside renowned international names. The genres represented cover a wide spectrum:

• House and deep house with collectives like Supplément Groove
• Techno and acid
• Trance and hard groove
• Dub and hybrid music
• Breaks and bass music

Each edition brings together around forty artists for more than 36 hours of music from Friday to Sunday, offering a continuous immersive experience.

A 100% homemade spirit

Summer Of Rom is distinguished by its artisanal and authentic spirit. The scenography is entirely designed and created by the festival team, with wooden structures, colorful tents, and a handmade entrance arch. The Ren'Art association, with about thirty members and supported by as many volunteers, favors local suppliers and service providers to preserve the spirit of the region.

Beyond the music

The festival also offers numerous complementary activities:

• Chill-out areas and relaxation zones
• Yoga and massages
• Mölkky and outdoor games
• Temporary tattoos
• Pop-up bookstore
• Giant water slide
• Artisanal catering with local sourcing

Shaded camping is available for festival-goers, reinforcing the community and family spirit that defines this now essential summer event in the Lot.

A big family

Over the editions, Summer Of Rom has become a true family built year after year: an event with an irresistible "come back for more" feel, a place where everyone naturally finds their place. The festival deliberately maintains a limited capacity to ensure the quality of the experience and the comfort of festival-goers, prioritizing intimacy over growth.
