Start the summer dancing in the medieval heart of Thiers 100% free

For 3 days, for its 27th edition of the Pamparina, Thiers is an open-air stage to celebrate the arrival of summer. You can enjoy this joyous and dynamic festival in the medieval alleyways, hidden squares or in front of the media library, facing the mountains. The town is at its best for three unique days of music. A feast for the eyes in the medieval town. Pleasure for the ears, with so many concerts. There’s also something for gourmets: gourmet stalls and restaurants to tantalise the taste buds. Here, celebrating means “pampariner” in Thiers dialect, and the whole town is decorated for the event.
