After a convincing premiere last year, the Saumur Loire Festival (Maine-et-Loire) is preparing to make its return from September 13 to 15, 2024. For three days, numerous activities will be put on and the detailed program begins to draw well.
50 Loire boats expected
On the occasion of this second edition, still supported by the Loire Floating Markets association in partnership with the Saumur Val de Loire tourist office, the promises are high. Particularly with regard to the famous Loire boats. Indeed, an impressive fleet of more than fifty traditional ships should sail on the largest river in France, for total immersion
we promise from the organizers.
Village and tavern
Other planned highlights include the establishment of a Loire Marine village, in order to discover or rediscover the traditions and heritage of the Loire. Local producers, artisans and creators will also be there to allow the many expected spectators to find unique and artisanal products.
Always with the idea of spending a pleasant time at the water’s edge, a huge Loire tavern
will be installed in order to relax and enjoy the local gastronomy with music
ensures the organization.
Night parades, concerts of Joyeux Bordel and the Ruda
If the days promise to be full of rhythm (walks on the Loire, exhibitions, games, Mariniers concerts, Batucada, etc.), the evenings of the Saumur Loire Festival will not be left out: night parades of illuminated boats and concerts will allow the public to continue even longer more the present moment. The festive music group from Vendée Joyeux Bordel is announced for Friday 13. The next day, the jazzy orchestra Love Boat will accompany the local group Ruda Salska, scheduled since last February. Promising.
