Brocante Musicale de Vichy

The Brocante Musicale de Vichy: Bargains and Music at Parc du Soleil

The Brocante Musicale de Vichy is an original concept that combines the pleasure of bargain hunting with the pleasure of music. Every second Sunday of May, Parc du Soleil, one of the most beautiful green spaces in the spa town, hosts this event which brings together traditional flea market vendors and music lovers.

A Unique Concept

The uniqueness of this flea market lies in its musical dimension. Musical instruments – guitars, accordions, violins, brass instruments – are found alongside classic flea market items. Amateur musicians are invited to play on-site, creating a unique sound atmosphere. Vinyl records, CDs, sheet music, and music books complete the offerings for bargain-hunting music enthusiasts.

Parc du Soleil

Parc du Soleil, located on avenue de France, is one of Vichy's most pleasant green spaces. Its shaded paths, lawns, and flowerbeds offer a bucolic and relaxing setting for this day of bargain hunting and music. Stalls are set up among the trees in a relaxed and festive atmosphere, typical of Vichy's gentle way of life.

Vichy, City of Art and Music

Vichy has always had a strong connection with music and the arts. The Vichy Opera House, a jewel of Art Nouveau, hosts a renowned musical season. The bandstands in the parks bear witness to this musical tradition. The Brocante Musicale naturally fits into this cultural identity, offering a popular and accessible event that celebrates music in all its forms.
