Aspirations of five adolescents from Anneyron to host an intergenerational reggae concert seemed nearly unattainable for young adults entering adulthood. However, this goal was made attainable through the support of their local municipality and the neighboring Porte de DrômArdèche community. This is how in 2015, the inaugural edition of the ERVA Festival came into existence!
Nowadays, The ERVA Festival Association consists of thirty volunteers and has been uniting people since 2015, totaling around 22,000 attendees. With a mission to make culture more accessible, the association strives to revive local areas while contributing to sustainable growth. By organizing various musical events throughout the year, their ultimate goal is for as many individuals as possible to benefit from cultural enrichment.

Its meticulous programming includes a variety of stages that showcase burgeoning talent alongside nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, emphasizing diversity above all else. Whether searching for new sounds or simply broadening your musical horizons, this intergenerational event offers something for everyone!
