Fût'Stival de Carmaux

Fût'Stival: When Carmaux Becomes a Guinguette

Every June, Fût'Stival is the unmissable start-of-summer event in Carmaux. Organized by the Point de Fût association in the lush Parc du Candou, this entirely free and family-friendly event has been bringing together locals and visitors for over a decade with a festive, eclectic, and convivial program. The summer guinguette has found its place in the cultural landscape of the Tarn region.

A Festive and Intergenerational Guinguette

Fût'Stival's identity is that of a contemporary guinguette: convivial, joyful, open to all audiences, from the youngest to the oldest. On the lawns of Parc du Candou, you'll find the spirit of old-fashioned popular festivals — live music, dancing, good beers, laughter — with a resolutely modern and diverse program.

Admission is completely free for both days, allowing all families to enjoy the event without financial constraints. On-site food and drink stands offer local products, crepes, and homemade waffles.

Two Days of Eclectic Programming

The 13th edition in 2025 offered a dense and varied program:

Friday, June 13th

• 6:00 PM: Opening with the vintage carousel Le Schmilblick Club, a festive emblem of Fût'Stival for several editions.

• 7:00 PM: Unplugged aperitif concert with The Hyènes, for an intimate atmosphere to gently start the evening.

• 10:00 PM: Concert by Goulamas'K, a legendary Occitan alternative band, blending rock, brass, and traditional instruments for an explosive finale.

Craft Beer at the Heart of the Festival

The very name of the festival — Fût'Stival — says it all: beer is at the heart of the event. The bar offers a selection of craft beers, highlighting local and regional breweries. Enjoying a good beer while listening to a concert under the trees of Parc du Candou: that's the Fût'Stival promise, kept edition after edition.

The Point de Fût Association

The Point de Fût association is the driving force behind the festival. Founded by enthusiasts of music, popular culture, and craft beers from Carmaux, it mobilizes a team of dynamic volunteers each year to create a high-quality, free, and accessible program for everyone. Point de Fût actively contributes to the cultural life of Carmaux and the associative dynamism of the region.
