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.
The Pouguestivales program varies each year and covers a wide musical spectrum:
The goal is to offer musical diversity accessible to everyone, in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere.
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.
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 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.
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.
