a call for solidarity to save the event

The Joy Connection festival, a non-profit cultural event organized in Pornichet (Loire-Atlantique), celebrates “joy and fraternity” through a pop and gospel musical program.

A 2025 edition ready but threatened

For two days, the racecourse hosts around ten concerts and hundreds of festival-goers. However, after a drastic reduction in its public and private funding, the organization of the festival is in danger, its third edition is threatened although it is ready, with a two-day format, more than 10 concerts, “richer and more accomplished.

Joy Connection is therefore forced to solicit collective generosity to ensure its sustainability.

The director of the festival, Bénédicte Miolane, is therefore calling for the mobilization of as many people as possible in order to allow the event to take place on June 13 and 14, 2025.

“Nearly 100 children from priority neighborhoods, 6 associations linked to youth, the integration of people with disabilities, and the isolation of future mothers are impatiently awaiting our edition. Help us!”

Rewards are offered depending on the amount of the donation: places for the festival, singing training led by Tsiory Ariberti, professional vocal coach and conductor of the Joy Connection choir.

At the same time, a collection of in-kind donations is being carried out by the Joyissima association, partner of the project, to organize a garage sale.
