Un Bol d'Airs

Un Bol d'Airs: The Tarn's antidepressant festival

Since 2009, the Un Bol d'Airs festival has established itself as the cultural event of the season in the Tarn. Conceived as a true "antidepressant", a festival "that does good for the neurons", this multidisciplinary event brings together thousands of festival-goers every year at the domaine de La Cayrié in Puygouzon, a residential town on the outskirts of Albi.

Arpèges & Trémolos: An association at the heart of Tarn's cultural life

Organized by the association Arpèges & Trémolos, based in Albi, the festival benefits from the expertise of a structure that supports numerous cultural events in the department. The association, also the organizer of the Marée Haute festival in the Monts de Lacaune, puts its know-how at the service of a demanding and festive program, driven by a team of passionate volunteers.

Music, street theatre and conviviality

The Un Bol d'Airs program happily blends current music concerts — rock, chanson, hip-hop, world music — and street theatre performances by invited companies. Over the years, the festival has hosted renowned artists: Les Fatals Picards, Les Hurlements d'Léo, Richard Gotainer, Elmer Food Beat, as well as emerging talents and local bands. Free aperitif-concerts open each day in a relaxed atmosphere.

Le Schmilblick: An open-air nightclub

After the concerts, the party doesn't stop. Le Schmilblick transforms into an open-air nightclub, extending the evening under the stars with DJ sets and a dancing atmosphere. It has become the signature of Un Bol d'Airs, a moment of free and joyful celebration that has earned the festival its reputation.

Gastronomy and lifestyle

Un Bol d'Airs gives pride of place to gastronomy. Food trucks, stands of local Tarn specialties, well-stocked bars and dining areas offer a gourmet experience alongside the music. The Emmaüs market, present every year, complements the offer with vintage items and good deals.
