the unmissable events of 2025 not to be missed

From March 13 to 16

Four days of celebration around circus artists for the 24^e edition of the Saint-Paul-lès-Dax International Festival. The best specialists of the genre will be present in the Landes to dazzle with their talent and their performances. In 2025, the theme chosen is that of dreams.

24 avril

The Boniface stadium, in the prefecture city, will be the home of the return derby between Stade Montois and US Dax. The yellow and black will be keen to erase the heavy defeat suffered in the first leg on Jean-Dauger's pitch in Bayonne (40-11). The precise day and date of this derby, counting for the 28^e day of Pro D2, are not yet known. But, without a doubt, the stakes should be there.

25 avril

The world record is 101 laps: will it be broken this year? At 12 p.m. on April 25, the Hossegor Infinity trail will kick off. An event that attracts more and more fans from edition to edition. The goal: to be the last to complete alone around Lake Hossegor, namely 6,706 km. The test will end when the final candidate gives up.

May 24

After the XXL evening in the Plumaçon arenas, in Mont-de-Marsan, where more than 8,000 people gathered including Tony Parker and Thomas Pesquet, the finals of the Coupe des Landes will return to their setting in Gamarde-les-Bains. The date is set for May 24 for this Landes basketball celebration. However, depending on the qualified teams and due to the French championship calendar, this meeting could be postponed to the weekend of June 6, 7 and 8.

1^is June

That day, the “South West” Mounride will offer the 9^e edition of its crazy obstacle course in the streets of Mont-de-Marsan.

From June 30 to July 5

For a short week, from June 30 to July 5, Mont-de-Marsan will transform into little Seville. Six days of activities and shows for the 36th^e edition of Arte Flamenco. After the 35th anniversary of the festival celebrated in 2024, the organizers fully intend to continue to meet the public's expectations. A big evening will kick off the festivities at the Cultural Center. There will be plenty of entertainment at the theater or in the festival village located at Place du Général-de-Gaulle. The big news will be, for this 2025 edition, at the CaféMusic' which will host shows. Also a way to attract a younger audience.

From July 16 to 20

Although the issue has caused a lot of ink to be spilled, with a conflict of dates with Bayonne, the Madeleine Festival will take place from July 16 to 20. And without competition. For the moment, no details of the program have been revealed by the mayor of Mont-de-Marsan and his team.

We know a little more about the bullfighting program with the presence of farms which “have everything to make a great feria”. Victorino Martin is back. At the same time, Fuente Ymbro, Escolar Gil and Santiago Domecq returned to Plumaçon. The cartels will be revealed on April 5 during the traditional D-100 before Madeleine. A day organized in partnership with Saint-Perdon, which will offer its novillada stitched at Plumaçon.

From July 25 to 27

The 2025 edition will be even crazier than the previous ones at Musicalarue. Julien Doré, who has never performed in the Landes, will be at the party just like Santa, the new muse of French variety, or even Philippe Katerine. We will also find Lamomali (with -M-) or the electro duo Polo and Pan. Fans of Fonky Family or Barback Ogres will also be there!

July 27

Kendji Girac will be in concert in the Dax arenas, at 9:30 p.m. This will be the singer's return after the events that occurred last April in Biscarrosse, where Kendji Girac came close to tragedy. His many fans will undoubtedly be in large numbers to listen to the hits from his new album and the greatest songs that have punctuated his rise. Note that Pierre Garnier will be present in the arenas on July 24, and Soprano on Saturday July 26.

From July 31 to August 3

This is for the moment the window during which the Tyrosse festivals could take place, in 2025. A very serious option that the municipality is considering. This should be confirmed very soon.

From August 13 to 17

The Feria de Dax will take place this year from August 13 to 17. The opportunity to put on your red and white outfit for five days of dense and varied celebration. Everything will come together in the spa town between dynamic days and wild nights. Everything will also come together on the arena side with a promising program. Five ganaderias present in 2024 are back, and we note the great return, after six years of absence, of Victorino Martin.

From September 12 to 14

A little over a month after the Feria, Dax is back with Toros y Salsa. It will be from September 12 to 14. Three days to tick off your calendar to thrill to the rhythm of the dense program which will take place in Théodore-Denis Park and at the arenas.

September 27

Last year, it was one of the first highlights of 2024, with their visit to Duhort-Bachen. Nadau had also performed several times in the department, such as in Pontonx-sur-l'Adour, Toulouzette and Biscarrosse. Fans of the group will have to wait a bit in 2025: only one concert is announced in the Landes. It will be Saturday September 27, at 9 p.m., at the Salle d'Aspremont, in Peyrehorade.

September 28

After Dax, which saw the coronation of Jérôme Costarramone in the spreaders and Kevin Ribeiro in the jumpers, the French Landes racing championships will take place in the Plumaçon arenas, in Mont-de-Marsan, on Sunday September 28, 2025. Another major challenge for the French Federation, which will have to attract the big day crowds for what generally marks the end of the Landes racing season.

September 29

As has been tradition for centuries, the small town of Ousse-Suzan will host one of the largest fairs in the South-West. Several tens of thousands of visitors will stroll through the aisles to find good deals. An unmissable event in the Landes!

October 12

A date to tick, finally: Sunday October 12, for the Marathon des Landes. Hundreds of runners are expected in Mont-de-Marsan to tackle this circuit, a little over 42 kilometers long, to add their name to the event's prize list, or simply to complete it.
