Twelve Fridays of Free Music

Pouguestivales is the musical event of the summer in Pougues-les-Eaux. Every Friday evening, from late June to early September, a free outdoor concert enlivens the Parc Saint-Léger in this spa town in the Nièvre region. Twelve concerts are scheduled throughout the summer season.

An Eclectic Program

The Pouguestivales program varies each year and covers a wide musical spectrum:

  • French and international pop-rock
  • French chanson
  • Jazz and blues
  • Folk and world music
  • Variety and cover songs

The goal is to offer musical diversity accessible to everyone, in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere.

Parc Saint-Léger, a Green Oasis

The concerts take place in the magnificent Parc Saint-Léger, a vast green space in the heart of Pougues-les-Eaux. This former thermal park offers an exceptional natural setting to enjoy music outdoors, under the shade of century-old trees.

Friendliness and Relaxation

A drinks stand and light refreshments are available on site at each concert, allowing spectators to extend the evening in a friendly atmosphere. Families are welcome, and children can enjoy the park's space.

Pougues-les-Eaux, a Historic Spa Town

Pougues-les-Eaux is a former spa town located 10 km north of Nevers, on the Route Nationale 7. The town, which reached its peak during the Belle Époque thanks to its mineral waters, retains a rich architectural heritage with its casino, thermal park, and holiday villas. Pouguestivales contributes to reviving this festive and seaside spirit.

An Event Rooted in the Territory

Organized by the Local Tourist Animation Association of Pougues-les-Eaux, Pouguestivales brings together residents and summer visitors every Friday evening around music. This free and recurring event has become a pillar of summer entertainment in the Nevers agglomeration.
