About Les Terres Rouges
Les Terres Rouges: a new festival, a fifteen-year legacy
The Les Terres Rouges Festival was born in 2025 from the metamorphosis of the Musicales de Montmiral, a festival that enchanted the village of Castelnau-de-Montmiral and its surroundings for fifteen years. Supported by a hundred passionate volunteers and thousands of loyal festival-goers, the new festival retains the DNA of its predecessor — conviviality, good music, joie de vivre, simplicity, and the pleasure of good food — while opening up to new ambitions.
Two sites, two atmospheres
Les Terres Rouges unfolds across two complementary sites. During the day, the village of Montmiral hosts a free festival: a flea market and artisan market, an educational farm, plastic arts and kirigami workshops, traditional wooden games, an exhibition of vintage cars, and afternoon shows — theater, storytelling, magic, music, and equestrian stunts. At 6:30 PM, an aperitif-concert in the village square kicks off the evening.
In the evening, head to the Vère-Grésigne leisure center, by the lake, for paid concerts. Free shuttles and the Catétou path connect the two sites. The exceptional natural setting of the lake, surrounded by wooded hills and vineyards, gives the concerts a magical atmosphere under the stars.
A program open to all styles
The festival highlights local and emerging talents, offering a stage open to all musical styles: French chanson, folk, reggae, rock, ska-punk, hip-hop, and world music. This musical diversity, combined with the friendly atmosphere of the place and the quality of the volunteer welcome, makes Les Terres Rouges a unique festival on the Tarn music scene.
