During these key moments of the year, the region of Angers throbs with life. You’ll find events of all kinds, from the cultural to the sporting, as well as gastronomic and artistic events, all with a festive atmosphere.
All throughout the year, the châteaux and heritage sites of Anjou become the stage for contemporary arts events, outdoor performances, circus shows and more. Angers’ heritage may be a thousand years old, yet it lends itself perfectly to a modern and original programme of events and festivals.
Popular annual events like the Festival d’Anjou, Premiers Plans, Échappées d'Art, Les Accroche-Cœurs and the Biennale des Grands Fleuves du Monde are today local institutions and have long attracted visitors from well beyond the Angers region.
Music Maestro! Angers is lucky enough to welcome international and national performers every year through an eclectic range of music events promoting the local and national scene. Levitation France, the Modern Festival, Trélazé Festival, Printemps des Orgues, or Tempo Rives, which holds special events for families, will rhythm your summer evenings, while cultural venues like Le Chabada, Le Quai or le Grand Théâtre offer music all year round.
On the nature side, Nature is Bike is fun and family event that encourages people to explore beautiful natural sites by bike.
