The Sorgue Festival returns for a spring edition this Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3. On the program: bike rides, concerts, and many other activities around the river.
Since 2024, the Sorgue Festival has been divided into two annual editions, one in the spring and one in the fall. For this new spring edition, the festival committees of Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne, Le Thor, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the towns of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Saumane-de-Vaucluse, Isle sur la Sorgue Tourisme and their partners have put together a rich program.
