Festival Plein Champ

Back for its 8th edition, the Festival Plein Champ is one of the must-see free events of the early summer in Le Mans!

From 3 to 5 July, the Plein Champ Festival will take place, as it does every year, in the Parc du Gué-de-Maulny and will welcome almost 90 national and international artists.

World-famous artist Vinie, guest of honour at this year's festival, has designed the poster for the festival, which features a unique, feminine and colourful universe. True to its DNA, Plein Champ will be showcasing artists from both inside and outside the street art world, with a focus on parity and showcasing local talent.

Throughout the three days of festivities, come and discover the live work of street artists and take part in workshops to the rhythm of an eclectic musical programme.

The festival's emblematic cube will once again play host to four new creations by international artists.
New for 2026, festival-goers will be invited to take part in the artistic creation of two wooden structures. It's a participatory experience with a few surprises in store!

The programme also includes night-time performances by Philippe Echaroux and convivial spaces with food trucks and a bar.

Another eagerly-awaited highlight is the concert by rapper Juste Shani, which will be offered in a song version so that as many people as possible can experience the event to the full.

Alexis Le Rossignol's stand-up show 'Le sens de la vie' (The Meaning of Life) will also be bringing a touch of humour and light-heartedness to the final day of the festival.

On the bill for this 8th edition:
- Street artists : Vinie, Artez, Elisa Capdevila, Matthieu Pommier...
- Musical programme: Barbara Butch, Yvnnis, Juste Shani, Yuksek, MAO Cormontreuil...
- Stand-up : Alexis Le Rossignol

The works of art remain in place all year long at the Gué de Maulny until the next edition.
