Fête de l'Accordéon
Accordion festival in the heart of Morvan
About Fête de l'Accordéon de Luzy
The Fête de l'Accordéon de Luzy: a unique musical event in Morvan
Every year in August, around the 15th, the town of Luzy, nestled in the southern Morvan, vibrates to the sound of the accordion. The Fête de l'Accordéon is a warm and popular musical event that celebrates this emblematic instrument of traditional and popular French music.
A festival dedicated to the accordion in all its forms
The originality of the Fête de l'Accordéon lies in its concept: every programmed group must include at least one accordionist in its lineup. This creative constraint opens up a vast musical field: musette, folk, trad, gypsy jazz, world music, songs... The accordion is revealed in all its diversity, from traditional musette dances to the most contemporary explorations.
Three days of festivities
The program spans three days and includes:
- Concerts in the open air and indoors
- Dances, including the famous "bal à l'eau" (water dance)
- Spontaneous jam sessions in bars and streets
- Musical aperitifs on terraces
- Music and dance workshops
- Musical walk in the Morvan countryside
- Accordion parade through the streets of Luzy
An intergenerational meeting place
The Fête de l'Accordéon aims to be a place for meeting and sharing, intergenerational and festive, open to all audiences, from traditional music enthusiasts to the most curious. The friendly atmosphere that prevails in the streets of Luzy during these three days makes it a special time for celebration and musical discovery.
An event rooted in the territory
The Fête de l'Accordéon is part of the remarkable cultural dynamism of Luzy, a town in the southern Morvan that also hosts the Fête du Violon in winter. These two festivals make this small town a reference point for traditional and popular music in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
