Fêtes de Tarbes

The Fêtes de Tarbes: the great popular festival of the Bigorre city

Every June, Tarbes lives to the rhythm of its festivals. For four days, the city center transforms into a huge festive space where casetas, bandas, concerts, and entertainment mingle for the greatest pleasure of the people of Tarbes and visitors.

A rich and varied program

The Fêtes de Tarbes offer a dense program: live concerts by local and regional bands, DJ sets in the evening, dance and flamenco shows, sports demonstrations, and entertainment for all ages. The Fête de la Musique is integrated into the program with open stages throughout the city center.

Popular sporting events

The Fêtes include the Tarbes Urban Trail, an 11-kilometer course through the emblematic sites of the city (skate park, Maurice-Trélut stadium, Jardin Massey, Hôtel de Ville), as well as the TarbAlade, a 7.5 km festive walk with musical stops.

The spirit of the casetas

The casetas set up on Place du Foirail are the beating heart of the festivities. These friendly spaces welcome the public for moments of sharing around music, dance, and local gastronomy.
