Open-Air Field Festival
Festival Plein Champ
Le Mans, France
Jul 3 - 5, 2026Expected
Each July the Parc du Gué-de-Maulny in Le Mans fills with the Plein Champ festival of street art, as murals, graffiti, and live performances take over the green. A grassroots affair, it sets a younger urban-arts spirit against the racing heritage the city is better known for.
Media proof note
The Open-Air Field Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
