Meet us at the Éole Factory Festival 2023

An eclectic programme
The fifth edition of the Éole Factory Festival brings a festive wind to the area: professionals and amateurs alike gather around the omnipresent wind instruments. Éole Factory offers an eclectic programme on the Ile l'Aumône; internationally renowned artists and up-and-coming performers rub shoulders; jazz and contemporary music follow one another, and sometimes even combine.
We will hear Keziah Jones, Ben l'Oncle Soul, Danakil, Vaudou Game, mais aussi Guillaume Perret, Congé Spatial, Megaswing, Kolinga, Sax Machine...
More than 15 concerts, featuring brass and wind instruments, make music accessible to all, while artistic practices are encouraged in the instrument makers' village.
