Festival Bon Moment
Amplified adventures and musical discoveries at L'Autre Canal Nancy
About Bon Moment
A festival of musical discoveries
The Festival Bon Moment, led by L'Autre Canal, Nancy's contemporary music venue, is an annual event dedicated to the discovery of new music and unique artistic projects. Every May, the festival takes over the Rives-de-Meurthe district to offer an eclectic program mixing contemporary, electronic, and experimental music.
A shared site in the heart of Rives-de-Meurthe
Bon Moment celebrates a shared site between L'Autre Canal and L'Octroi, a space for encounters, creation, and collective life in the heart of the Rives-de-Meurthe district. This space, open to all generations, hosts artists from here and elsewhere in a spirit of conviviality and sharing, offering concerts indoors and outdoors.
Musical programming
The programming of the Festival Bon Moment highlights emerging artists and unique artistic proposals, covering a wide spectrum of contemporary music: rock, pop, electro, hip-hop, experimental music, and many others. The festival showcases local and regional talent while also welcoming national and international artists.
Beyond music
The festival is not limited to concerts. It also offers exhibitions, debates, participatory workshops, and convivial moments with food trucks and bars. This multidisciplinary approach makes Bon Moment a true cultural and festive highlight for the district and the Nancy metropolitan area.
Synergies with other festivals
Bon Moment partners with L'Événement Photographique and the Fais-le Toi-même festival to create an extended cultural event on the L'Octroi site. This synergy between music, photography, and DIY practices enriches the visitor experience and strengthens the cultural dynamism of the Rives-de-Meurthe district.
An accessible and convivial festival
The Festival Bon Moment stands out for its accessibility and relaxed atmosphere. Outdoor concerts and free activities are alongside indoor programming at affordable prices, in a spirit of openness and sharing that has characterized L'Autre Canal since its creation.
Bon Moment — edition 2026
From May 29 to 31, 2026, the Bon Moment Festival returns for a new free edition at the shared site of L'Autre Canal and L'Octroi, in Nancy. Three days of amplified adventures mixing concerts, dance, DIY workshops, roller disco, organic market, and participatory experiences in the heart of Rives-de-Meurthe.
Three Free Days of Amplified Adventures
The 2026 edition of the Bon Moment Festival takes place from Friday, May 29 to Sunday, May 31, 2026 at the shared site of L'Autre Canal and L'Octroi, in Nancy. Conceived as a friendly and accessible micro-festival, Bon Moment 2026 is entirely free (only the "Do It Yourself" workshops are paid) and offers a multidisciplinary program that combines contemporary music, dance, visual arts, gastronomy, and amateur practices.
A Program of Musical Discoveries and Participatory Experiences
The 2026 program alternates between concerts in the main hall, open-air stages on the forecourt, choreographic performances, jam sessions, blindtests, roller disco animated by a DJ, sensory walks along the Meurthe, and carte blanche to local collectives. About twenty artists and groups will perform on site: Sababa 5, Bureau de Change, Treaks, Caprice, Bleu Chaton, Angine de Poitrine, Larsen Banger, the Orchestre Symphonique Universitaire de Lorraine, the Chœur Universitaire de Nancy, and numerous collectives and amateurs.
Inclusion, Ecology, and Citizenship at the Heart of the Project
Designed around four commitments — inclusion, equality, citizenship, and ecology — the festival hosts an organic market, an associative village, upcycling and plant-based cooking workshops, a round table "How to better build society," and a DJ set powered by electricity-generating bicycles. Bon Moment also partners with the Marché des Créateurs and the Fais-le Toi-même festival to strengthen the creative and artisanal dimension on site.
Food and Conviviality
Bars, food trucks, and street food options are available throughout the weekend, in addition to the shared moments offered in the program (sound cooking, old-fashioned games, photo race, toy library, exhibition, skate demonstrations). The 2026 edition confirms the festival's identity: a popular and creative event open to all generations, in the Rives-de-Meurthe district.
