ESTIVADA centres on Occitan language, literature, music, theatre, storytelling and transmission. The 2026 edition takes place at Espace La Doline in Sébazac-Concourès, just north of Rodez, and presents culture d’oc as something alive rather than as decorative folklore. Children’s activities, writing workshops, readings and meetings with artists help connect contemporary audiences with the wider Occitan-speaking world. The festival foregrounds language, artistic creation and the continuity of Occitan identity.
