About Guitares Vertes
Guitar Through the Cultures
Since 2004, the Les Guitares Vertes festival has explored a new theme and a new culture each year through the guitar, a universal instrument present in all world music. Created in the region of Jumilhac-le-Grand, this touring festival takes place over several weeks in the summer in the communes of Nontronnais.

The programming ranges from African music to world music, including rock, chanson, and traditional music.
A Participatory Orchestra
A unique feature of the festival is the Orchestre des Guitares Vertes, a participatory orchestra that invites the public to play the guitar in a collective concert. The festival also offers film screenings, participatory cabaret shows, and free concerts on July 14th.
