About Fêtes d'Agen
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.
The Boulevard du Pruneau d'Agen
A true showcase of local produce, the Boulevard du Pruneau d'Agen highlights the emblematic fruit of the region. You will find a gourmet market of regional producers, free tastings of hot prunes and a Cook Show organized by the Bureau Interprofessionnel du Pruneau, with culinary demonstrations and recipes based on Agen prunes.
