Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before coming to Frahier'stival, on 14 and 15 August 2026 in Frahier-et-Chatebier, France.
Dates & opening hours
When does the festival take place?
Friday 14th and Saturday 15th August 2026. Doors open at 5:00 PM, concerts until 3:00 AM, each night.
Does the festival go ahead if it rains?
Yes, rain or storm: the festival is open air and happens whatever the weather. Dress accordingly and bring good shoes - the site is a field.
Tickets & prices
How much is the entrance?
Pay what you want, from €3: you decide the value you want to give the event, and it is free for children under 12. By booking, you support a non-profit association.
Should I book in advance?
It is recommended: booking online via HelloAsso guarantees your spot and supports the organisation. You can also buy your ticket at the gate on the night, at the same price.
Can I leave the festival and come back in?
No: any exit is final, and you will need to buy a new ticket to come back. Plan ahead before entering - food and drinks await you inside.
Are children and minors welcome?
Yes: entrance is free for children under 12. Minors may attend on their own, but we prefer them accompanied by an adult.
Getting there
How do I get to the festival?
Rue du Moulin, 70400 Frahier-et-Chatebier, 20 minutes from Belfort, France. Access is only from the Frahier side of the street, the other side being closed to traffic; there is no shuttle or public transport. Free parking on site, with an accessible & motorbike area near the entrance.
Is the site wheelchair accessible?
Yes: accessible parking near the entrance, adapted toilets, and the ground is manageable, though it remains a field. If you would like assistance, ask ahead through the contact form.
On site
Is there food and drink on site?
Yes: the association's bar (open 5 PM to 2 AM, 100% of proceeds fund the festival) and six food trucks, from savoury to sweet. Cash and cards accepted; browse their menus on the site map.
How do I check the allergens in the food and drinks?
Every bar and food-truck menu lists its allergens line by line: open the site map, then the menu of the stand you are interested in. La Michelot snack also makes its waffles and churros in an egg-free, dairy-free version, at the same price. If you have a severe allergy, tell the stand before ordering.
What are the alcohol rules?
Alcohol sales stop at 2:00 AM, when the bar closes. No alcohol is sold to minors, as required by French law; ID may be requested at the entrance as well as at the bar. Outside alcohol is not allowed on site.
Is there a water point?
Yes, a water point is available inside the festival.
What is not allowed on site?
Outside alcohol, glass containers, weapons and dangerous items, flares and fireworks, as well as drones. Animals are not admitted, even on a leash. The site is open air, so there is no dedicated smoking area.
I lost something during the festival - where do I ask?
Go to the bar: it doubles as the festival's lost & found. After the event, write to contact@frahierstival.fr.
Will I be photographed during the festival?
You may be. Entering the site counts as accepting image rights: photos and videos taken during the festival may be published on the Frahier'stival website as well as on its social media. If an image of you is a problem, write to contact@frahierstival.fr and we will take it down.
Music & entertainment
Who is playing this year? Which music styles?
13 artists across two stages: rock, pop, metal, electro and hardstyle DJ sets. A DJ opens the night as soon as the doors do; the full hour-by-hour schedule is in the line-up.
What happens between the concerts?
Giant blind tests with MUSICAL PARTY - just be there to play - and the famous cancoillotte eating contest, with sign-up directly at the bar.
How do I make sure I don't miss a concert?
Install the festival app and enable the alerts: you will get a notification about 15 minutes before each concert and activity. On the day, the Live page also shows who is on stage and who is next.
