Mur de Souffle: a big succes!
France | The 2023 edition of the Mur du Souffle festival was a huge success! This year, the festival raised the largest sum in the history of their association to medical research and patient support in their fight against cystic fibrosis.
Over the three days of graffiti and festivities in September, more than 5,800 people came to admire the artists in action in front of their huge walls - 5,800 visitors of all ages and backgrounds, who were able to create for themselves in the free workshops, soak up the sun while enjoying delicious organic drinks and homemade Bokits (delicious West Indian sandwiches) and dance to the sound of the DJ set.
The next edition of this beautiful festival will be in 2025.
