SUMMARY:Folklore Festival in Amélie-les-Bains
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nDancing in the streets in Amélie\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Created in 1935 by Jean Trescases\, founder of the ‘Danseurs Catalans d’Amélie’\, the yearly Festival Folklorique in Amélie les Bains is the oldest in the Pyrénées-Orientales. \nOriginally a national festival\, it quickly attracted international attention\, first from other Mediterranean countries\, and then from Eastern Europe\, at a time when the Cold War and governmental controls made trips out of these countries a virtual impossibility. It didn’t stop them! \nNow in its 82nd year\, the 2025 festival has been renamed Festival Danses et Musiques du Monde and will see hundreds of dancers lighting up Amélie. Taking us on a journey through dance cultures and traditions\, both local and further afield\, hundreds of dancers come together in a kaleidoscope of colour and rhythm.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”34875″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With groups representing Cuba\, Khirghizistan\, Costa Rica\, Spain\, Southern Catalonia and our very own P-O (Amelie Palalda Sardanes\, Cobla Mil-lenaria\, Les Vieux Croûtons du Mondony\, Cobla Principal del Rossello)\, there’s LOADS going on over the course of the week. \nCheck out the programme here.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoKHO-M60BY”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\n\nFor more information\nOffice de Tourisme\n04 68 39 01 98\nwww.festivaldamelielesbains66.com \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”40803\,40804\,40805\,40806\,40807\,40808″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
