Spring of Pérouges: celebrate the beginning of summer with music!

From Tuesday, June 23 to Sunday, June 28, the Spring Festival of Pérouges returns to the Parc du Château de Saint-Maurice-de Rémens. Visitors will be able to discover luminous, gastronomic, and above all, musical experiences. Featuring artists like Lenny Kravitz, Mentissa, Théodora, and Christophe Maé, there is something for everyone!

It may not take place in spring or in Pérouges, but the Spring Festival of Pérouges continues to surprise and delight its participants. This year, at the Parc du Château de Saint-Maurice-de Rémens, Tuesday, June 23 marks its grand return with new artists and novelties that will enchant the visitors. But first, it is important to recall the journey this festival has taken. Founded in 1997 by Marie Rigaud, a passionate lover of lyrical singing, the Spring Festival of Pérouges was created with the goal of energizing the cultural life of the Ain region. It began with classical music concerts in iconic locations and has evolved over the years to present concerts of various genres, always in venues that showcase the local heritage, such as castles, farms, and even industrial sites.

A festival that surprises! The attractiveness of the festival, in addition to the numerous artists, is the site. For the fourth consecutive year, the Spring Festival of Pérouges takes place at the Parc du Château de Saint-Maurice-de Rémens, in the heart of the Plaine de l’Ain. It is a historical site, filled with century-old trees. In the center of this greenery lies the main stage with its large platform, stands, and pit.

The festival is composed of several areas including circus-style tents, a cabaret-inspired space, a gastronomic area, food trucks, bars, and more. These different spaces promise a true culinary experience for visitors, with offerings such as the world champion “pâté-croûte,” a gastronomic dinner, Bocuse burgers, food trucks, and two Bressane bars.

Music at the heart of the celebration! The festivities kick off on June 23 with a concert by the legendary Lenny Kravitz. This highlight of the 2026 edition of the festival is followed by The Australian Pink Floyd Show, a global reference for Pink Floyd tributes. After Jean-Louis Aubert on the 25th, and Christophe Maé on Friday, June 26, Théodora takes the stage on Saturday the 27th, followed by Louane on Sunday the 28th, over ten years after her debut. Other artists will also share their music and talent such as D’Wayne, Miki, Magma, Sam Sauvage, Luiza, Mentissa, and St Graal.

Luminous decorations! To illuminate and accompany all this, the Spring Festival of Pérouges transforms into a mini Festival of Lights. With the work of art “L’Arbre à Papillons,” a luminous tree 11 meters high and 13 meters wide. “Le Lustre,” an impressive chandelier 5 meters high and wide that blends baroque and contemporary inspirations. And “Floraison,” luminous poppies suspended in the trees and displayed in front of the castle, welcoming festival-goers with their glowing light.
