Les Gueules de Bois Festival

Les Gueules de Bois: Rock, Wood, and BMX in the Jura

The Les Gueules de Bois Festival is a cultural and sporting event that began in 2019 in Légna, a small commune in the Jura nestled in a forest setting. Supported by the Festivalzin association, this atypical festival uniquely blends rock music, BMX, and alternative culture in a striking natural setting.

An Exceptional Natural Site

The festival takes place at the Côte des Vignes site in Légna, an area surrounded by forests overlooking the Valouse basin. This exceptional natural setting, between Jura fir trees and pastures, gives the festival a unique atmosphere, fully immersed in nature.

Music, BMX, and Alternative Culture

The festival's program revolves around three pillars: music, BMX, and wood. On the music side, the festival focuses on rock, punk, and alternative music. On the sports side, BMX competitions and demonstrations liven up the days. Wood, an emblematic resource of the Jura, is celebrated through various activities related to forest heritage and wood culture.

Free and Friendly Camping

The festival offers free on-site camping (by reservation), allowing festival-goers to experience the full event over the three days. On-site catering and a merchandise shop complete the offerings.

Remarkable Growth

Since its first edition in 2019, the festival has experienced remarkable growth, attracting 15,000 festival-goers in 2025 for its fifth edition. This success highlights the appeal of a human-sized festival, rooted in the Jura nature and driven by values of conviviality and sharing.
