For the past three years, every summer, it has organized a festival dedicated to hip-hop, rap, and trap culture, bringing together Swiss artists and promising international talents. It serves as a springboard for local artists and gives them the opportunity to get noticed. By providing a multigenerational gathering place, our project aims to offer a unique festival that will appeal to everyone on the Esplanade de la Cathédrale, a central hub of our city. The association works closely with local organizations and partners to combine music with artistic projects. Everyone is invited to participate in the project, which is a source of inspiration and new experiences for many of us.
