About Orn'Estival
Orn'Estival: The Major Summer Musical Event in Orne
Created in 2025 by the Departmental Council of Orne, Orn'Estival is a major summer musical event held at the Equestrian Sports Center of the Haras national du Pin, a heritage site nicknamed the "Versailles of horses". This exceptional setting, in the heart of the Norman countryside, provides an ideal backdrop for welcoming thousands of spectators for a grand evening of open-air concerts.
A Successful Inaugural Edition
The first edition of Orn'Estival, on August 23, 2025, made a mark by welcoming nearly 9,000 spectators for a free concert by Kendji Girac. The evening was preceded by a choral performance from 5 PM to 6:45 PM, followed by an opening concert by the Celtic group Julien Loko Irish Band before the headliner. The event concluded with fireworks at 11 PM, offering a spectacular finale in the Orne night.
A Festive and Popular Concept
Orn'Estival is part of the department's commitment to offering a cultural and festive event accessible to all. On-site catering allows families and groups of friends to spend a full day in a green setting, enjoying shows and conviviality. Free access upon registration ensures broad public access.
An Exceptional Venue
The Haras national du Pin, founded in 1715, spans 1,100 hectares of meadows and forests in the heart of Orne. The equestrian sports center, usually dedicated to high-level equestrian competitions, transforms for the occasion into a vast open-air concert hall, with infrastructure suitable for large gatherings.
Ambition for the Territory
By creating Orn'Estival, the Departmental Council aims to enhance the cultural and tourist appeal of Orne, complementing the department's other summer events. The event is part of a dynamic of valuing heritage and animating the Orne region.
