NanoFest (Lingwick) 22-23-24 août 2025
Le NanoFest présente de la musique, de la poésie, du conte, de la danse, du cirque et de l’art visuel. L’équipe se donne le défi d’inclure le plus de disciplines artistiques, et aussi celui de surprendre le public. L’événement se déroule à l’extérieur, sur un magnifique terrain où il est possible de camper, manger et se baigner. Les spectacles et activités sont festifs, parfois contemplatifs, et même participatifs! Née lors d’une discussion de salon entre trois ami·es qui partagent le désir de créer un moment où leur communauté estrienne pourrait se rassembler autour de la culture à l’extérieur de la ville, la première édition du NanoFest a vu le jour à l’été 2022, à Bury. Se laissant emporter par son amour pour l’art sous toutes ses formes, et se découvrant des compétences et un intérêt grandissant pour l’organisation d’événements, l’équipe s’est retrouvée pour une deuxième édition en 2023 puis, cette année encore, avec encore plus d’ambition et d’assurance!

NanoFest presents music, poetry, storytelling, dance, circus and visual art. The team challenges itself to include as many artistic disciplines as possible, and also to surprise the audience. The event takes place outdoors, on a magnificent site where you can camp, eat and swim. Shows and activities are festive, sometimes contemplative, and even participatory! Born of a living-room discussion between three friends who shared a desire to create a time when their Estrie community could gather around culture outside the city, the first edition of NanoFest was born in the summer of 2022, in Bury. Driven by their love of art in all its forms, and discovering a growing interest and skill in event organization, the team returned for a second edition in 2023, and this year with even greater ambition and confidence!
