Un Week-End avec Elles: The Feminine Stage in the Tarn
Since 2007, the Un Week-End avec Elles festival has offered an exceptional platform for female artists in the Tarn department. Supported by the association Arpèges & Trémolos, founded in 1996 and organizer of the renowned Pause Guitare festival, this event was born from the desire to give greater recognition to women in the contemporary musical and artistic ecosystem.
A Traveling and Multidisciplinary Festival
Un Week-End avec Elles is distinguished by its traveling format, deployed across several iconic locations in the Tarn: the Café Flo in Florentin for intimate and gourmet musical days, the Maison de la Musique de Cap Découverte in Le Garric for evening concerts, and other venues and spaces in Albi, Castres, Lautrec, and Castelnau-de-Lévis. This multiple geography allows it to reach diverse audiences and build connections with the territories.
Music, Dance, Photography, and Commitment
The program blends concerts (chanson, world music, jazz, rock, electro), dance performances, photographic exhibitions, conferences on professional equality, and round tables bringing together women entrepreneurs, stage technicians, and change-makers. The Curiosity Club, a networking space, and themed meals complete an experience that goes far beyond just a concert.
