Since 2013, the year of the resumption of the
Imperial Palace****, the objective has been to open to annéciens and vacationers this building so emblematic of the city by the creation of events where they could meet. The Imperial Annecy Festival is one of the important ones.
In 2015, the idea of intergenerational programming germinated, being varied by passing from jazz to humor without forgetting the classic. Today the festival continues to grow and now extends over two weeks!
Programming, resolutely eclectic with the arrival of emerging or international artists, is accessible to all.
Indeed out of 22 proposed concerts 11 are free! They are held at 6pm at the
HIP Bar of the hotel and in case of good weather on the terrace facing the lake. For the 9pm concerts, they take place in the Salle de l'Europe, the prices vary between
€12 and
€30/person
FROM 13 TO 25 AUGUST 2023
