Melleran Part en Live

Melleran Part en Live: The Free Celebration in the Heart of the Village

In the south of Deux-Sèvres, on the border of the Charente department, the small village of Melleran — with less than 500 inhabitants — comes alive every June thanks to a music festival that is as generous as it is improbable. Melleran Part en Live, supported by the Collectif Jeune du Foyer rural, has made the radical and deliberate choice of total gratuity, convinced that culture must remain accessible to everyone, including in rural areas.

The Village Square as the Main Stage

The concept is as simple as it is powerful: to take over the village square of Melleran and transform it, for a day and a night, into a place for celebration and meeting. From 2 PM, activities begin with games of 'palet' and pétanque, an artisan market, and DJ sets to warm up the atmosphere. From 6 PM until 3 AM, concerts follow one another on the stage set up in the square, in an intimate and friendly format that makes the event so unique.

An Eclectic and Festive Program

The Melleran Part en Live program reflects the open and curious spirit of its organizers. From African music to ska-punk, from rock to electro swing, from techno to world music, the festival mixes genres with a preference for festive and danceable sounds. Each edition is an opportunity to discover emerging bands and unusual formations, far from commercial circuits.

Free Camping and Affordable Food

True to its philosophy of accessibility, the festival offers free camping in the immediate vicinity of the site, as well as food and drinks at very affordable prices. The goal is to allow everyone to fully enjoy the celebration, without financial barriers.

A Precious Social Link in Rural Areas

Beyond the music, Melleran Part en Live fulfills an essential social mission: to create connections between the villagers and visitors, between young and old, between locals and those from elsewhere. By symbolically investing the village square, the festival reaffirms the role of this space as a place for gathering and sharing, perpetuating a tradition of rural conviviality.

Easily accessible from Niort (50 km), Poitiers (70 km), and Angoulême (50 km), Melleran Part en Live attracts a loyal audience that appreciates this bubble of music and good cheer in the heart of the Deux-Sèvres countryside.
