Festival Boris le Singe

Boris le Singe: From the 4L Trophy to the Festival

The story of the Boris le Singe festival is as original as its name. The Boris le Singe association was founded a few years ago by a group of friends from Louverné, initially to raise funds to participate in the 4L Trophy, a famous student solidarity rally. Boris was originally a teddy bear that the friends took photos of during their adventures, becoming the mascot of their car and then of the entire association. From this solidarity adventure, a music festival was born in Louverné.

Two Days of Contemporary Music

The festival takes place over two days at Clos Joli (or Bois Joli) in Louverné, with an eclectic program mixing hip-hop, electro, rock, soul, and pop. On Friday evening from 6 PM and Saturday from noon, artists take turns on stage to offer a rich and varied musical experience. The 4th edition in 2025 hosted about ten artists including Antes & Madzes, La Rif Et Nos Men, Ogustine, Lomeh, Band Of Brothers, and several DJ sets.

Rapid Growth

After a first confidential edition that attracted 400 people through word-of-mouth on social media alone, the festival has grown rapidly. The goal for the 4th edition was to reach 1,000 attendees, a sign of the growing public enthusiasm for this human-sized event.

A Friendly Atmosphere

The Boris le Singe festival focuses on a relaxed and festive atmosphere. The Clos Joli site, outdoors, offers a green setting conducive to relaxation. Food trucks and a bar allow festival-goers to eat on-site. Parking is free, and the site's layout allows for smooth circulation between areas.
