A reggae festival now discontinued
The Garance Reggae Festival is no longer taking place. It was one of the most important reggae festivals in France. Founded in 1989 in Paris, it subsequently established itself in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, in the Gard department, at Parc Arthur-Rimbaud.
History
Over the years, the festival brought together many major figures of reggae, dub, and dancehall, attracting a large audience every summer at the end of July. Its last documented edition in Bagnols-sur-Cèze was held from July 23rd to 26th, 2014.
The edition planned for 2015 was cancelled by the municipality of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, and the festival did not find a new permanent location to continue under this name. It was locally replaced by the Bagnols Reggae Festival, subsequently organized at the end of July in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, which itself later faced the withdrawal of municipal support.
This entry is kept for archival purposes. No 2026 edition of the Garance Reggae Festival is scheduled.
