The 100% female festival celebrating women's voices, journeys, and commitments
Since 2007, the Un Week-End avec Elles festival has offered an exceptional platform for female artists in the Tarn department. Supported by the association Arpèges & Trémolos, founded in 1996 and organizer of the renowned Pause Guitare festival, this event was born from the desire to give greater recognition to women in the contemporary musical and artistic ecosystem.
Un Week-End avec Elles is distinguished by its traveling format, deployed across several iconic locations in the Tarn: the Café Flo in Florentin for intimate and gourmet musical days, the Maison de la Musique de Cap Découverte in Le Garric for evening concerts, and other venues and spaces in Albi, Castres, Lautrec, and Castelnau-de-Lévis. This multiple geography allows it to reach diverse audiences and build connections with the territories.
The program blends concerts (chanson, world music, jazz, rock, electro), dance performances, photographic exhibitions, conferences on professional equality, and round tables bringing together women entrepreneurs, stage technicians, and change-makers. The Curiosity Club, a networking space, and themed meals complete an experience that goes far beyond just a concert.
The 2026 edition, from April 9th to 12th, celebrates both the 19th edition of the festival and the 30th anniversary of the Arpèges & Trémolos association. The presence of Patti Smith on April 12th at the Maison de la Musique marks this double anniversary with an exceptional highlight, confirming the festival's national and international reach.
The Un Week-End avec Elles festival returns in full force for its 19th edition, from April 9th to 12th, 2026, also celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Arpèges & Trémolos association. An exceptional highlight: the Patti Smith Quartet will perform on April 12th at the Maison de la Musique de Cap Découverte.
The program will showcase the journeys, voices, and commitments of women through concerts, dance performances, exhibitions, conferences on professional equality, and technical workshops. The festival will be held itinerantly across several locations in the Tarn, true to its unique format that blends artistic excellence with societal commitment.
The festival takes place at several sites in the Tarn: Café Flo in Florentin, Maison de la Musique de Cap Découverte in Le Garric, venues in Albi, Castres, and other towns. Detailed locations and times are indicated in the program for each edition.
