Guitare 57 Festival

A unique festival dedicated to the guitar

Created in 2021 by the Association Chloé & Clyde, the Guitare 57 Festival is a unique musical event in Eastern France, entirely dedicated to the guitar in all its variations: acoustic, electric, classical, folk, rock, blues, jazz, and many other styles. Every autumn, it takes over the G. Jansem Sociocultural Center in Marly for a festive and musical day.

A tailor-made program

The festival unfolds over a day with a rich and varied program:

Evening concerts

The musical program highlights regional and national artists who share their passion for the guitar through energetic and diverse concerts. The duo chloe+clyde, founders of the festival, blends alternative rock and electro-pop in performances that oscillate between vocal fragility and sonic power.

Afternoon activities

From the afternoon, the festival comes alive with several activity areas:

• Masterclasses: professional guitarists share their know-how and techniques with participants.
• Open stage: amateur musicians can perform in front of a supportive audience and share their art.
• Exhibitors' village: luthiers, regional music stores, amplifier and effects pedal manufacturers showcase their creations and allow visitors to test equipment.

A place for meetings and exchanges

The Guitare 57 Festival aims to be a meeting point where amateur and professional musicians and music lovers can connect around their common passion. The friendly and family atmosphere of the G. Jansem Center encourages informal discussions between artists and the public, the discovery of new instruments, and the sharing of musical experiences.

The Association Chloé & Clyde

The Association Chloé & Clyde, behind the festival, is a dynamic cultural player in the town of Marly. Beyond the festival, it works throughout the year to promote guitar music and culture in Moselle.

A growing event

Since its creation, the Guitare 57 Festival has experienced growing success. From its confidential first edition to an event recognized in the regional music scene, it reached its 4th edition in 2024 and continues to develop by attracting increasingly diverse exhibitors and artists.
