29ᵉ Festival Senzala 2026 is a one-day festival held in Montpellier, in the Occitanie region of southern France, on October 30, 2026. It is the 29th edition of the event, and it is built around music, rhythm and a festive atmosphere.
What to expect
The festival is a good fit for visitors who want an evening centred on live music and dancing rather than a quiet cultural visit. Because it runs for a single day, it works well as a planned outing within a short stay in the city.
- Music and rhythm as the core of the programme
- A festive, social atmosphere suited to a night out
- A chance to meet people from Montpellier's creative community
