Museum in Celebration : July 19th & 20th 2025
In Les Gets, this July, the instruments come to life and the melodies of yesteryear echo through the heart of the mountains.
If you’re looking for an original getaway this summer, head to Les Gets in Haute-Savoie for the Mechanical Music Festival on July 19th and 20th, 2025! A one-of-a-kind event in Europe that blends heritage, art, and a festive atmosphere… all set in a picture-postcard village of traditional chalets and lush mountain peaks.
Why come to Les Gets for this event?
👉 For the atmosphere: The entire village comes alive to the sound of barrel organs, mechanical pianos, music boxes, and other ingenious creations. For two days, it’s an open-air living museum with street concerts, shows, parades, and passionate artists on every corner.
👉 To discover incredible treasures: This year’s highlight—an exclusive unveiling of Picasso’s mechanical piano, freshly restored! A unique piece at the crossroads of art history and music, not to be missed.
👉 To grab a collector’s comic book: Big news for 2025—the release of the very first comic book dedicated to mechanical music, with book signings by the author and an exhibition of original drawings. A perfect souvenir to take home!
👉 To enjoy delicious food: On top of all the music, it’s a great excuse to indulge in Savoyard specialties on sunny terraces or in cozy chalet-restaurants—think fondue, tartiflette, diots, and the famous mountain blueberries!
👉 To soak up the fresh mountain air: After the festivities, take time to unwind—walk around Lac des Écoles, hike Mont Chéry, or relax with a stunning view of Mont Blanc. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try mountain biking on the resort’s renowned trails.
A weekend where the magic of vintage instruments meets the vibrant energy of a village festival—all in a charming, family-friendly mountain resort. And this year, with Picasso’s piano and the brand-new comic book, it’s definitely the time to discover this unique living heritage in Europe!
