The project began in 1913, a period that was expected to be difficult. The chosen location was close to the school complex, thus completing the school's role as a venue for extracurricular activities such as music lessons. Indeed, it played an important role in all the communes of France during the Third Republic, and La Cigale had already earned a fine reputation for excellence.
Construction was entrusted to the firm of Dax architect Alexandre Lalanne. He was assisted by the young Albert Pomade. Clean lines were retained to harmonize with the classicism of the existing town hall and justice of the peace building. The Salle des Fêtes was completed just in time to fulfill its mission during the 1919 Poilus banquet.
Rehearsals and concerts were held there, as well as balls and other ceremonies, for which it provided a roof on inclement weather. This was the case on Sunday, May 26, 1957, when thousands of people came to applaud the Landes brass bands participating in the departmental music festival organized in Morcenx by La Cigale. The celebration was magnificent despite the appalling weather, and the participants had to take refuge in a crowded Salle des Fêtes for the ball.
Currently too small for most Morcenais events, it offers an indoor room to the CAM, ping-pong section, to the Twirling Club Bâton and a small fronton with a wall on the left for training pala amateurs. It is made available to the school, whenever necessary, for special events.
