In Oloron Sainte Marie takes place in July and August “Summer Quarters”. The twentieth edition promises beautiful dates around music, dance, theater, historical visits, exhibitions, gourmet markets, sports, bandas and folklore without forgetting traditional songs.
There’s something for everyone in Oloron this summer during the “Summer Quarters”. Beautiful outings for moments of celebration and delicacies or events around sport, concerts with headliners. Most are free. The Californian group “Groundation” is a legend of reggae in the world. He is the undisputed master of captivating jazzy reggae. At the same time funk, Latino and African rhythms. Groove that will not leave you indifferent. See you on Tuesday July 26 at 9 p.m. at the municipal fronton to find out. And it’s free. Before that, a local producers’ market will meet you on Wednesday July 20 at 6 p.m. in the public garden with a big meal around the kiosk animated by Jungle Cats. A group that will make you relive the atmosphere of New Orleans jazz clubs.
Summer quarters in Oloron: around sixty dates in July and August
The other headliner of these Quartiers d’été is the coming of the group “La Cafeteja Roja” in concert on Friday August 5 at 9 p.m. in the public garden. A nod to the film “The Spanish Inn” by Klapisch. A hip hop, festive rock and above all beast of the stage collective that comes to us from Barcelona. If you prefer to discover African rhythms, save the date of Tuesday August 2 at 9 p.m. in the public garden, with the great folklore ensemble “Inyamibwa” from Rwanda made up of 22 dancers and musicians. Another highlight with theater on Thursday August 11 at 9 p.m. Place Saint Pierre. The company “Les Allumeurs de Réverbères” presents “Le Bal des Voleurs” by Jean Anouilh. Between lies, wigs and shenanigans, who will triumph? Love or greed? And the Théâtre Pas Sage offers puppet shows all summer long. Their work is of high quality. Children will remember it for a long time. And finally 3 new visits have been set up: memories of Oloron to discover the city differently (souvenir of the Oloron tramway for example). 2nd visit: a children’s visit to the parc pommé and the 3rd: the 20th anniversary special is a walk full of surprises (a compilation of the Moche visit, Myth’O visit, etc.). Something to make your mouth water.
