Music Festival in Villefranche-de-Rouergue

The Fête de la Musique in Villefranche-de-Rouergue

As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique transforms the royal bastide of Villefranche-de-Rouergue into an open-air stage every June 21. Music freely takes over public spaces, from the afternoon until late in the evening, in all genres and for all audiences.

A festival in the heart of the bastide

Usually, the festival unfolds in several emblematic locations in the historic center — around Place Notre-Dame and the collegiate church, in the shopping streets and on café terraces —, mixing repertoires: gospel, flamenco, world music, jazz, classical music, and carillon. Local talents perform alongside conservatory ensembles and cultural associations from the Villefranchois area.

For the 2026 edition, a special open stage for young talents, followed by a DJ set, has already been announced for Place de la Collégiale in the evening: singers and instrumentalists, solo or in groups and of all styles, are invited to perform.
