Experience a weekend of nostalgia, music, and games as the village of Les Gets transforms into a massive playground for Le Musée en Fête! Held on the 18th and 19th of July 2026, this year's festival theme is "Mechanical Music & Games," celebrating the universal connection between play and melody.
At Chalets1066, we love seeing our authentic alpine village come alive with the sights and sounds of this unique summer event. It is the perfect opportunity to experience the cultural heritage of Les Gets alongside the fantastic mountain biking and hiking the Portes du Soleil has to offer.
What to Expect at the Festival
Hosted by the Association of Mechanical Music of Les Gets, the festival takes over the old village, turning the space from Place du Manège to Place Limonaire into a vibrant, interactive celebration.
- Interactive Musical Games: Try your hand at turning the cranks of traditional barrel organs, fairground organs, and amazing musical machines.
- Live Shows and Entertainment: Enjoy musical theatre, magic shows, and the famous "Karaoke with Cie Le PĂ©tillon".
- The Grand Parades: Do not miss the spectacular parades featuring the "MĂ©canophone" with its 42 horns, illuminated vintage bicycles, and singing mechanical trains winding through the village streets.
- The "Orgameuh": See the incredible "Cow Organ," specially built for the 150th anniversary of the reunification of Savoie and France.
- Activities for All Ages: From musical quizzes and blind tests covering music from 1900 to the 1960s, to dedicated shows for toddlers, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
