K-Live (early June)

Each year, by leaving their mark on the walls of the city, they enrich the Musée à Ciel Ouvert (MACO) in Sète, which offers an artistic and picturesque stroll all year round, dotted with mural works. But the highlight of the K-Live Festival remains the beginning of June, when urban arts, visual arts and contemporary music concerts converge in the streets of the city centre and in the famous Théâtre de la mer.

When I think of Fernande (end of June)

When you think of Fernande, you actually think of the most gently impertinent festival in Sète. A real nose-thumbing to the wise, this festive event brings together the best artists of the current scene and seduces with songs and various stage performances. Georges, for sure, would appreciate the tribute.

Worldwide Festival (early July)

The Worldwide Festival makes the port of Sète resound with the sounds of a crazy eclectic electro programme. In the morning, the party starts in the cafés and continues in the afternoon on one of the city's beaches. In the evening, the Théâtre de la Mer is the place to be for wild night-time celebrations.

Muscat Festival (mid-July)

The concept is simple, effective and will certainly seduce you: a day of festivities around Muscat, this divine small grape variety, punctuated by convivial events such as the funfair or the café boys' race... Between two tastings!

Festival de Poésie Voix Vives de Méditerranée (end of July)

The Voix Vives de Méditerranée poetry festival is a delicious cultural UFO that brings together numerous poets from all over the Mediterranean every year. A hymn to tolerance, it is an introduction to the art of poetry through the reading and listening of texts. Streets, squares, gardens and heritage sites of Sète are taken over by the artists for a moment shared with the public.
