Mark your calendars! A weekend not to be missed! Join us on Saturday, October 22, and Sunday, October 23, at the participating farms!
Organized by the Regional Chamber of Agriculture PACA and the farmers of the “Bienvenue à la Ferme” network, with the support of the Regional Council and the Departmental Chambers of Agriculture, this festival connects culture with agriculture through numerous vibrant and flavorful events.
-When Culture Rhymes with Agriculture
The goals of this extraordinary festival are to contribute to spreading culture for all in rural areas, to allow artists to perform in unique and warm settings, and to build connections between farmers, the local area, artists, and the public. Once again this year, it offers a wide array of rich and varied events.
A Plethora of Events
Concerts, painting, singing, or dance workshops, exhibitions, and even theatrical performances will delight both young and old. Farm operations, bed and breakfasts, wine and olive oil estates, as well as educational farms also offer visits, tastings, and even the chance to participate in animal milking and harvests!
