Conviviality and Sharing

Beyond the concerts, the festival offers moments of meeting and sharing: catering areas with local products, activities for all ages, and a warm atmosphere that is the event's signature. Volunteers, the backbone of the festival, contribute to this welcoming atmosphere that builds a growing audience year after year.
