Forest Festival 2026
From June 21 to July 12, 2026, the Festival des Forêts returns with a new edition for lovers of music and nature.
Held in the forests of the Oise region, this musical event combines grand symphonic concerts, musical bathing experiences, and pyrotechnic displays.
In total, more than 200 artists will perform in 15 concerts and 7 musical forest bathing sessions.
An original and daring concept that has become, over the years, a summer must-see.
For this new season, the festival will celebrate Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," the central theme of a particularly rich program.
The theme of the seasons will be explored by deliberately departing from the Venetian master's masterpiece.
You will thus be able to discover open-air concerts where the music interacts with the sounds of the forest.
