Les Fêtes d'Agen (Grand Pruneau Show)

Les Fêtes d'Agen, the festive event of Lot-et-Garonne

Created in 2005 under the name of Grand Pruneau Show, Les Fêtes d'Agen has become one of the major events in the southwest of France. Every year, on the last weekend before the start of the school year, the city center of Agen is transformed into a gigantic festive space where music, gastronomy and entertainment combine to attract more than 60,000 visitors.

Concerts of national scope

The Place du Docteur Esquirol, at the foot of the town hall, is transformed into a large open-air stage hosting renowned artists. Previous editions have featured headliners from French chanson and the pop scene. In 2025, Pierre Garnier, Joseph Kamel, Eddy de Pretto and Santa set the Agenais public ablaze. The 2026 edition also promises an exceptional program with Matt Pokora, Louane, Jérémy Frérot and Yann Muller.
