Transportation

The various ways to get to Semur-en-Auxois will take you to the city center of the capital of Auxois-Morvan, where our festival is held.

Join the JAS association

In 2025, 24 members volunteered their time to make this festival happen, as they have done every summer for the past five years.

Five years, because the festival only really got started in 2021.

The first weekend in July quickly became a significant event in the cultural and musical life of the town of Semur-en-Auxois, but it now extends far beyond the boundaries of the Côte-d’Or department.

Via the Gallery menu, you can discover the artists who have done us the honor and pleasure of coming to play during the previous four editions.

Our resources

To succeed in this mission, we rely on partners who accompany and support us financially.

Our second source of income consists of profits from ticket sales (via HelloAsso and the Semur-en-Auxois Tourist Office) and revenue from our refreshment bar/restaurant, which accompanies our three summer evenings.

Finally, our public partners also make an important contribution and provide necessary support for our budget.
