Hiraku Festival

ℹ️ Festival discontinued. The Hiraku Festival was organized only once, on October 31, 2015, at the Moulin de Brainans. No new edition has been documented since, and the current program of the Moulin de Brainans no longer mentions it. This page is kept for archival purposes.

Hiraku Festival: when wine met music

The Hiraku Festival was a hybrid and original event held at the Moulin de Brainans, a labeled contemporary music venue in Jura. This one-day festival offered a unique alliance between oenology, gastronomy, and contemporary music, creating a gathering for wine lovers, food enthusiasts, and those curious about new sounds.

A living wines fair

The day began with a tasting fair featuring about fifteen winemakers (fourteen winemakers at the 2015 edition), offering living, natural, and terroir wines. This friendly fair allowed visitors to meet producers directly, taste their vintages, and discover estates often not widely distributed through classic channels. A screen-printed glass in the festival's colors was offered with admission to the fair.

The Moulin de Brainans: an emblematic venue

The Moulin de Brainans is an old buckwheat mill from the early 20th century, converted into a contemporary music venue. Remains of millstones, gears, dams, and irrigations of the Orain canal bear witness to its industrial past. This atypical place, steeped in history, offered a unique setting for the festival.

Concerts and DJ sets evening

The evening was dedicated to concerts and DJ sets. The 2015 edition brought together five bands and four DJs — among whom Duck Duck Grey Duck, Judah Warsky, Asagaya, Sapin and DJs Freakistan, Mr Duterche, Miqi O., and LTDLL — for an evening of contemporary music in the warm atmosphere of the Moulin.
