From the 2nd to the 6th of July 2024, the Cognac Blues Passions festival invites you for its 31st edition!
Come and experience a week of Blues in Cognac.
Every year, at the beginning of July, artists from all over the world meet on the Ile Madame of Jarnac for the opening night and then in Cognac for 5 days, around numerous scenic areas, each one more beautiful than the other, including the public garden. The Public Garden of Cognac, a friendly and family environment, allows festival-goers to fully enjoy the concerts and to stroll throughout the day from one stand to another in its wooded alleys.

This summer, let's celebrate this 30th anniversary together with Buddy Guy, Chris Isaak -M-, Michel Jonasz, Placebo and many others!

On the program: dance, theater, music, circus, magic, cabaret, puppets... And the "C'est Gonflé" festival (end of March or beginning of April, around the arts of movement and dance - in an offbeat spirit!) and "Coup de Chauffe" the street arts festival (early September) which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2024.
Each season bears witness to the vitality of current creation, genres and artistic forms from here and elsewhere and is based on high standards and pleasure.



The spirit of the place

The layout of a place and the conditions of presentation guide our perception. From the reception hall to the auditorium, the theatre has been designed to better meet this requirement of conviviality. To ensure that everyone can make the place their own, we regularly offer times outside the performances, with free access.

Terra Aventura is a treasure hunt inspired by geocaching.
To play, you must download the application on your smartphone (androïd or apple) or bring you a GPS, thinking to print beforehand the list of clues on the website. Then you will leave a starting point referenced by GPS coordinates. Throughout the way, characters named "Poï'z" will accompany you in search of clues. These clues will allow you to complete the GPS coordinates of the location of the cache.

On the territory, you can enjoy a 2 km walk in the historic center of Cognac to discover the history of the city.
The poï'z "Zabeth" will guide you along the way and once the cache found, you will leave with a surprise!

Good luck !!
