Tarn Festival

Greater Montauban celebrates its emblematic river
From 4 to 6 July 2025, the charming village of Bressols will learn to vibrate to the rhythm of one of Greater Montauban’s most authentic fêtes., on the banks of the River Tarn, is the setting for a magical weekend where folk tradition and modern lifestyle meet in an exceptional natural setting. The Fête du Tarn celebrates the river that has shaped the identity of our region and continues to inspire our finest summer escapades.

The soul of the Tarn at the heart of the festivities

Imagine yourself wandering through the shady alleyways of the Parc du Vergnet, cradled by the murmur of the Tarn as it lazily flows beneath the ancient plane trees. The air is fragrant with the effluents of grilled meats and replete with the laughter of the families gathered for this unique celebration. Here, the fête doesn’t just liven things up: it re&eacutes the deep âme of this territory façoneacute; by the waters of the Tarn for centuries. The Parc du Vergnet site provides an idyllic backdrop for this célébration. The green gorges become a natural setting for festive entertainment and peaceful contemplation. That’s the magic of this festival: to reconcile modernity and tradition in a haven of unspoilt nature.

Three days, three atmospheres

Friday 4 July :Opening in style

The festivities kick off with a bang with an evening dance that transforms the park into a giant dance floor under the stars. The atmosphere builds to a crescendo until the fireworks display lights up the Tarn with a thousand colourful reflections. This pyrotechnic spectacle, reflecting the calm waters of the river, offers a moment of pure collective magic where young and old alike find their noses in the air, éwonderés.

Saturday 5 July :The popular festival

Saturday keeps things lively with a new evening dance that promises to keep the park buzzing until the end of the night. The fair is in full swing, with traditional manèges to delight children and re&eacute nostalgia for older children. The children’s laughter mingles with the lively discussions of the adults, creating that authentic fairground atmosphere so dear to village traditions.

Sunday 6 July :A culinary and musical highlight

Sunday is all about flavours with le march&e; gourmand featuring local producers and spés du terroir. It’s a chance to discover the gastronomic treasures of Greater Montauban in a friendly, family atmosphere. The afternoon reaches its climax with the concert by Louie & The Hurricanes (3pm), a musical moment that promises to thrill the audience with their energetic répertoire and entraînantes mélodies.

The authentic pleasures of the Tarn

Over and above the entertainment, the Fête du Tarn revives the simple pleasures that make our river so charming. The boat rides (by prior arrangement) offer a unique perspective on the landscapes of Greater Montauban. Gliding gently along the calm waters of the Tarn, observing the wildlife on the banks and admiring the changing reflections of the river: these moments of river séreacute;nité stand in stark contrast to the festive bustle. The exhibition of vintage vehicles adds a nostalgic note to the event. These vintage jewels tell the story of our roads and motoring traditions, creating a moving dialogue between past and present on the banks of this ancient river.

A weekend on the river

The Fête du Tarn à Bressols perfectly embodies the summer spirit of Greater Montauban: authenticity, conviviality and celebration of the natural heritage. It’s a unique opportunity to rediscover the Tarn from a festive angle while savouring these moments of sharing that weave the social fabric of our region. When visitors leave the Parc du Vergnet after this unforgettable weekend, they take with them much more than memories: they take with them the imprint of that Tarn sweetness that so characterises summer in Greater Montauban.
