Aluna Festival
An authentic, friendly festival
When we talk about Yelloh! Village Aluna Vacances, the 5-star campsite in Ruoms immediately springs to mind, as does the Aluna Festival! It’s one of the biggest cultural events in the commune of Ruoms, in the Ardèche department of the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region.
This event has been held on the campsite grounds every June since 2008. Participants and all those attending the event can enjoy the exceptional setting of this open-air hotel. One of the instigators of this festival is none other than the campsite manager, Jean Boucher, in collaboration with show producer Didier Viricel.

The objectives of this festival
The investigators of this festival created it with the primary aim of promoting the Ardèche. It’s also an opportunity for them to help promote local tourism.
