A Free and Family-Friendly Festival

FestiVaux is a free contemporary music festival that has enlivened the Vaux-sur-Mer town hall park every summer for over 20 years. For three days in early August, the open-air theatre hosts artists from various musical scenes in a friendly and accessible atmosphere for everyone.

Eclectic Programming

The festival offers a varied program on two stages: the main stage and the discovery stage. Musical styles blend: reggae, electro, pop, rock, soul, hip-hop, funk, and world music. Each evening, three concerts are offered starting at 7 PM, allowing festival-goers to discover emerging and established artists.

Local and Eco-Responsible Commitment

FestiVaux emphasizes short circuits and local producers with bars and food trucks offering a diverse selection of dishes and flavors. The festival opens its doors at 6 PM, and admission is completely free, reinforcing its popular and family-friendly character.
