Aires Libres is a free, multidisciplinary music festival created in 2005 in Marseille (France) by the French collective "A L'unisson". Inspired from Les Siestes Electroniques, "Sous la Plage" and" Pelouses électroniques", three events created in Toulouse and Paris two years ago. Aires Libres’s main goal is to showcase electronic music outdoor, and promote various cultural activities for children and their families through visual art and several artistic workshops. Access is free and most Aires Libres events take place in the Summer touring various places with a significant historical heritage in the French department of Provence.
Concept
Aires Libres recreates an attractive spacetime continuum to listen to music in sheer nature with family and friends.
Aires Libres events pursue the following goals:
- To introduce innovating musical and visual art forms
- To introduce artistic activities to both children and their families
- To preserve social linkage and nature proximity through the discovery of exceptional sights situated near large cities
- To Increase public awareness concerning ecological issues and sustainable development in a natural environment
Beyond its music programming, Aires Libres’ originality lies in two different perspectives:
- Prioritizing the tastes and interests of children and their families.
- An ecological dimension integrating sustainable development with actions such as waste management, recycling, collective transport, composting toilets, reduction of carbon footprint and an increasing public awareness of their local environment in prestigious natural sights exploited on exceptional occasions (Mont Sainte-Victoire, Mountain of Sainte-Baume, Camargue, all part of an historical heritage).
