About Music Festival in Figeac
Every June 21, Figeac celebrates the Fête de la Musique in the heart of its medieval city. Organized by the École intercommunale de musique et théâtre de Figeac, the day features several free events, from the main courtyard of the town hall to the market hall, before a batucada parade through the streets in the evening. Choirs, instrumental ensembles, and percussion groups make the city resonate, in a free and open atmosphere.
The Fête de la Musique in Figeac
As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique transforms the city of Figeac into an open-air stage every June 21. In this medieval city of Lot, music freely takes over the squares and monuments of the historic center, from morning until evening.
A day paced by the music school
The Figeac edition is organized by the École intercommunale de musique et de théâtre, whose students and ensembles animate several highlights spread throughout the city. Choirs, vocal workshops, instrument ensembles, orchestras, guitar ensembles, and brass bands follow one another throughout the day, before percussion groups take over the streets in a parade. The main courtyard of the town hall and the market hall, two emblematic places of the old center, host the main concerts.
