Huche N'Groll Festival

Huche N'Groll: Free Rock in the Heart of Vendée

Born in 2017 from the initiative of the municipal culture commission of Moutiers-les-Mauxfaits, the Huche N'Groll Festival quickly established itself as a major rock event in southern Vendée. Set in the exceptional natural setting of the Vallée d'Huche Grolle, on the road to La Tranche-sur-Mer, this open-air festival offers a friendly and accessible musical experience for everyone thanks to its completely free admission.

An Eclectic Rock Program

Each edition of Huche N'Groll offers a rich and varied program that spans the entire rock spectrum: from 50s rock'n'roll to hard rock, including blues, rockabilly, and contemporary French rock. The festival also stands out for its discovery stage, which provides a platform for young local and emerging bands starting at 5 PM, before giving way to established artists in the evening.

A Popular and Unifying Event

Supported by over 80 volunteers from the municipal culture commission and three local associations — Amicale Laïque Moutierroise, OGEC Saint-Maurice, and Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers — the festival benefits from the support of over 50 partner companies. Food and drink, managed by the associations, contribute to the warm and family-friendly atmosphere of the event.

A Remarkable Natural Setting

The Vallée d'Huche Grolle, a true green setting crossed by a body of water, offers a unique bucolic setting for an open-air festival. The site, already known for its fitness trail and playgrounds, transforms for one day into an open-air rock stage where families and music lovers gather in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.
