  • Mir redde Platt 2026 — Festival of Lorraine Francique and Regional Languages

    Mir redde Platt is one of the clearest regional-identity events in the Grand Est calendar. Based in Sarreguemines, the 2026 edition celebrates the Francique lorrain, known locally as Platt, as a living language rather than a museum object. The programme mixes performances, encounters, heritage visits, workshops and cultural conversations, giving space to a language carried by families, border history, popular speech and local memory. The 2026 theme, Les voix de la Terre, frames the language as a voice of place: rooted in Lorraine, open to neighbouring cultures and still capable of shaping contemporary artistic creation. This is a high-value entry for a regional culture website because it directly supports linguistic transmission and the visibility of a minority language of the Grand Est.

  • Bal Folk at Moulin de la Blies: Quetschkaschde and Platt Culture

    This Bal Folk is connected to the Mir Redde Platt festival and to Les Inattendues aux Musees, giving it a clear language and regional-music frame. The Sarreguemines source identifies Quetschkaschde as the group leading the dance evening at Moulin de la Blies, with a repertoire inspired by local traditional music and updated for a shared dance floor. It is not just a concert: the source presents it as a moment of transmission where dance, Platt culture and regional memory meet.
