RISTOLAS: Music – The Airs Libres festival returns on June 13 and 14 for a 3rd edition – Presse Agence

In Ristolas, in Queyras (Hautes-Alpes), the Airs Libres festival of the intercommunal music school will be held on June 13 and 14, 2026.

The Airs Libres festival, supported by the School of Music and Arts of Guillestrois and Queyras (EMAGQ), announces its big return for a highly anticipated third edition. This event, which has become an unmissable event in local cultural life, will take place on the weekend of June 13 and 14 in the natural setting of the town of Ristolas. It promises to celebrate music in all its forms, showcasing local talents.

An educational and festive project

At the heart of the Airs Libres project is the desire to promote the work accomplished throughout the year by students and their teachers. The festival offers a stage to these musicians, young and old, allowing them to share their passion with the public in professional and friendly conditions. It is the culmination of an educational journey which combines high standards and pleasure, as evidenced by the involvement of passionate teachers like Camille Fradet, one of the driving forces behind the event. The program, which will be detailed soon, promises to be rich and varied, reflecting the diversity of the lessons provided by EMAGQ.

Support from the Community of Communes

This cultural event benefits from the active support of the Community of Communes of Guillestrois and Queyras, which sees this festival as a vector of dynamism and social bond for its territory. The intercommunal institution, through its communications officer Julie Rousselle, warmly invites residents and visitors to come in large numbers to applaud the artists and enjoy this moment of sharing. The commitment of local communities is essential to sustain such initiatives which enliven cultural life in rural and mountain areas. For more information on the activities of the intercommunality, the public can consult the official website: www.ccguillestroisqueyras.fr.

Important information: Canceling an animation

The Community of Communes of Guillestrois and Queyras would like to inform the public of a modification concerning the activities which were to be held in parallel with the festival. The “Pizza Pétanque” event, initially organized by the parent delegates of the Ristolas school, will ultimately not take place. Consequently, there will be no refreshment bar on the site. Festival-goers are therefore invited to make their own arrangements. This cancellation only concerns the ancillary entertainment and has no impact on the musical programming of the Airs Libres festival, which is fully maintained.
