Born from the ambition of young people in Forez to make culture accessible regardless of geographical limitations, the Foreztival project was established in 2004. It is an event steeped in music and love that transports attendees into a world separated from their everyday lives for three days. An idea like this felt almost dreamlike upon its launch, with just 3,500 visitors. However, it has seen tremendous success since then and brought together 35,000 individuals by 2019 and 2022!
Since its inception, the underlying philosophy of the organizers has stayed unchanged; values such as solidarity, exploration, and collaboration still remain at the heart of Foreztival. Composed of more than 600 volunteers during Foreztival, it is people that truly make this festival a success. Without their enthusiasm and passion for music, art, and culture, there would be no event to speak of!
Foreztival is a celebration of humanistic and inclusive values, believing that music can act as a bridge to unite people. The festival organizer is committed to ensuring the festivity remains beautiful for all by not tolerating any form of discrimination, violence, or disrespect. Come revel in the 17th edition of Foreztival on August 4-6, 2023!
