Arty Colors Festival 2026
From August 4 to 7, 2026, the Arty Colors festival transforms Briançon into an open-air artistic stage. Three days of concerts, street performances, and shows, with two exceptional evenings at the Schappe Park.A colorful edition – this year, it's all about blue – mixing free and paid shows and concerts throughout the city. A must-see summer cultural event in the Hautes-Alpes.
For this 4th edition, Arty Colors blurs boundaries and rejects any routine. A playground where aesthetics intersect and clash. Here, rap dialogues with circus, rock flirts with poetry. French artists reveal the full richness of their universes. A living mosaic, free and constantly evolving. Each offering is an experience, each stage a meeting.
Arty Colors is art in motion… raw, hybrid, and incandescent.
