Since 2018, this eco-friendly, festive, and family-oriented Music Festival has been growing in popularity. Held over two days, it's essentially a roots festival; so lots of rocksteady, dub, ska, reggae, and tropical house music. If you like Bob Marley (and who doesn't frankly) then you are going to love this!
The venue is open land at the Terrain Laroche, alongside the Collège De Léonard de Vinci (a large moddle school serving 700 students from across the valley). In addition to the main stage, there is an eco-citizen village, creative workshops, a wellness area, and the all-important food tucks and portaloos. There is free parking on-site, as well as camping and caravan provision.
The 6th Edition of Les Foulees du Lac - 2024
The dates for this year are Friday June 14 & Saturday June 15, 2024. As usual, the Friday night (18:00-24:00) is all about the Sound Systems, with the live acts on the Saturday afternoon and evening (14:00-01:00).
For tickets, visit: https://www.billetweb.fr/festival-raots-du-lac.6 - €10 for the Friday, €15 on Saturday, or €20 (in advance) for a 2-day pass. Kids under 14 go free. So, yes this is excellent value, when compared to larger festivals (and just as much fun). The line-up looks excellent for this year, with something for everyone:
