After two years of absence due to covid, the Solidays festival filled up this weekend at the Longchamps racecourse (Paris), welcoming nearly 250,000 festival-goers.

After two years of absence due to health crisis, the Solidays festival, which ended on Sunday evening, exploded its attendance record with more than 247,000 festival-goers, including the Minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak, announced the organizers. This 24th edition thus beats the record dating from 2019, which had welcomed 228,000 people in the last edition before the arrival of the Covid.

Solidays makes it possible to finance the action plans of the Solidarité Sida association. The 24th edition will fund nearly 120 prevention and assistance programs for vulnerable people in more than 20 countries, the statement said.
