All year round, there is no shortage of cultural outings in Auch. Venues for concerts and shows offer quality programming, eclectic for many, organized and communicated before the start of the school year.
Cultural season Auch and surroundings
From October to May, at the Dôme de Gascogne, at the Italian-style theater, under a big top or in the neighboring villages the rich and varied shows of the cultural season : theater, contemporary and classical music, dance, circus arts, children's shows, all audiences are affected!
It is the structure of the IARC (which also gives its name to the place of its offices, in the lower town in the colorful houses of a rehabilitated former military barracks) which is the programmer, via the town's delegation, of the cultural season.
On site, every lunchtime during the week, as well as show evenings, The Cant'auch, integration restaurant, serves cuisine made from fresh products, respecting the short circuits and the seasons.
La Petite Pierre
In a small corner of our countryside, between Jégun and Castéra-Verduzan, The Little Stone, like CIRCa, welcomes artists in residence throughout the year. Regularly, shows are scheduled in the small surrounding villages. And La Petite Pierre organizes N'Amasse pas Mousse, the festival loved by families during the back-to-school period!
CRI'ART
Our amplified music have their structure in Auch! At CRI'ART very often on Fridays, but sometimes on Saturdays, we listen to Pop - Rock - Soul - Rap - Blues - Reggae concerts throughout the year! The premises are shared with the IMAJ association and the BIJ and almost always hosts activities for the youngest, lessons for budding musicians, exhibitions, etc.

Some other festivals
The FCMA, short film festival
Created in 2011 by high school students, today this festival receives nearly 1000 short films and since 2016 and “squats” at Ciné32. The desire of the group of young people is to get together to share unique and warm moments around the cinema. Far from the glitter, the team works to offer a quality event, a hybrid event mixing cinema, meeting and music. With its original programming, the FCMA is a showcase of what tomorrow's creation is and takes place in Auch in November.
Rock'n stock
THE rock festival at the gates of Auch with its quality programming and free concerts! The meal is a good time to live: all the generations mingle on large tables in village festival mode and the volunteers bend over backwards to make this meeting excellent in every way!
It happens in Preignan the first weekend of July, in general.
Trad'Envie
Traditional balls, no dances, songs, Gascon music arias, big concerts under the spring sun brighten up Pavia.
Does not collect foam
The festival for young and old who give the fishing (formerly in Castéra-Verduzan in September) is now held in Jégun in June. In terms of shows and atmosphere, it's rural and “quiet”. We go there with the family... And even the little ones are served!
Consult our online agenda regularly and you will be informed of festivals and other cultural events!
The land of art and history
Every quarter, the Country of Art and History publishes its agenda of discovery tours and other activities around local heritage.
Because the heritage is alive, the Country of art and history of Grand Auch, via its team of guide-lecturers (approved by the Ministry of Culture and Communication), offers guided tours all year round. They share their passion with enthusiasm through a wide variety of discovery tours and always adapting to the different members of the groups: children, adolescents, heritage experts or novices!
It is not only a question of visits, but also of sensory visits and D'workshops for 6-12 year olds (stained glass, coat of arms, modeling, etc.) and international conferences.
Other regular concert venues
From May to September, MEMENTO, the departmental center for contemporary art, opens its doors and during the summer, Wednesday night is always dedicated to a concert, in the courtyard of the old Carmel. The very special atmosphere of the place, magnifies the program which is always very current and eclectic!
Cafes and bistros sometimes offer a few concerts, sometimes intimate, sometimes ultra festive and general public: this is the case at theIrish Rock Cafe in the upper town, Bistro Le Salon lower town, at the Irish Legend pub in Jégun…
