The Roaring Twenties in Sarlat

Every first weekend of June, Sarlat Swing It transforms the heart of the medieval city into an open-air stage to celebrate swing and the good mood of jazz in the pure tradition of American bands from the 1920s to 1950s. Professionals, enthusiasts, and amateurs gather to experience the exceptional atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties.

Jazz, dance, and vintage

The program combines jazz concerts, parades, and dance scenes in the streets and squares of Sarlat. Demonstrations of Charleston, Lindy Hop, and Balboa invite the public to hit the dance floor. In parallel, stalls selling vintage clothing, makeup, period hairstyles, and a barbershop recreate the event's retro atmosphere.

An exceptional setting

Vintage cars displayed in the streets complete this journey through time, offering a striking backdrop amidst the golden facades of the medieval city of Sarlat-la-Canéda.
