Moov'O'Der: The Celebration of Movement at Lac du Der
The Moov'O'Der Festival is a season launch event that celebrates movement and sensations in the heart of Lac du Der, the largest artificial lake in Europe. Since its creation in 2022, this festive and sporting gathering has established itself as one of the highlights of the season in Champagne, attracting over 25,000 visitors from its very first edition.
A Triptych of Land, Water, and Air Activities
The festival is structured around an original concept: offering activities on land, water, and in the air. On the water, visitors can try kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, water scootering, or even dragon boating. On land, the program includes climbing, archery, handball, footgolf, and demonstrations of BMX and skateboarding. In the air, demonstrations of kites and skydiving complete the spectacle.
Concerts, Firework Show, and Color Run
Beyond the sporting aspect, Moov'O'Der offers a varied musical program with open-air concerts. Each edition is punctuated by a grand firework show and a festive and colorful Color Run. Olympics, children's activities, and equestrian shows enrich the program.
A Family-Friendly and Free Event
The Moov'O'Der Festival stands out for its accessibility: most of the sports introductions are free, making it an event open to all audiences – families, couples, athletes, or the simply curious. The site is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
An Exceptional Setting
