• Blues and soul: a tribute to the roots of African-American music
• Gospel and vocal music
• Rock and pop: opening up to contemporary music

Three days of musical celebration

The festival unfolds over three days with an original format:

• Thursday and Friday: free evenings to open the festival to the widest audience
• Saturday: closing evening with participatory ticketing (pay what you can/want)
• Jazz Showcase: preceding the festival, a showcase dedicated to young talents for Fête de la Musique
