Festival Zikenstock

From May 5th-7th, 2023, the 19th edition of the Zikenstock Festival will revel in its traditional family and festive atmosphere outdoors at "Le Marché aux Bestiaux" in Le Cateau-Cambrésis. This alternative music gathering is an opportunity to witness some of the ska and punk's biggest names perform live! Don't miss this chance to experience a one-of-a-kind event with friends or loved ones as you sway along to your favorite musicians.

In 2004, a team of dedicated volunteers and local officials crafted an annual event in the countryside to address the lack of communal spirit amongst youngsters from different towns. This festival was created to unite youth from around their canton and neighboring areas.

After rocking out to punk music, festival-goers can delight in the vast array of food stands offering international dishes. Delicious beverages are also available to stay refreshed in the heat and humidity!
