Plaisance Instrument Fair and Car Boot Sale

Instrument Fair and Car Boot Sale in Plaisance-du-Gers

The Plaisance Music School organizes its musical instrument fair and car boot sale every spring in the streets of the town center, around the Immaculée-Conception church. This friendly event is in its 4th edition and attracts amateur musicians, instrument collectors, and bargain hunters from the Armagnac-Adour region.

A unique instrument fair in the Gers

The instrument fair is the heart of the event. Individuals and professionals offer used musical instruments: acoustic and electric guitars, brass, wind instruments, percussion, accordions, violins, keyboards, and accessories (music stands, cases, sheet music, amplifiers). It's the perfect opportunity to find an instrument at an affordable price to start or improve, or to sell an instrument gathering dust in the attic.

A lively car boot sale with music

Alongside the instrument fair, a classic car boot sale offers the usual second-hand items: clothing, toys, books, trinkets, and furniture. The originality lies in the musical entertainment provided by the school's students and teachers throughout the day. A solidarity meal is offered to exhibitors and visitors, with profits supporting the school's activities.

Plaisance-du-Gers, a musical bastide

Plaisance-du-Gers (32160) is a Gascon bastide with 1,500 inhabitants located in the Arros valley, in the heart of the Saint Mont and Madiran vineyards. The town has a dynamic cultural and musical life, notably driven by its music school. The instrument fair contributes to the musical influence of this Gascon town, attracting musicians and music lovers from all over the Armagnac-Adour-Madiran area. It is a unique event in the department for lovers of second-hand instruments.
