Midnight Garage Festival returns in Paris for its 4th edition

The Midnight Garage Festival is the unmissable event for lovers of beautiful engines… but not only! Set in an exclusive place in Paris 12^th arrondissement, for its 4^th edition, the festival gives pride of place to the 80’s: art show, retro gaming, lucha libre show, gentlemen’s corner with barber, food trucks, live music… There’ll be something for everyone!

As part of this year’s novelties, the “House of Custom”: about fifteen artists have been given free rein to customize 20 helmets based on the 80’s: lit-dancefloor, disco ball, Pac-Man and even Michael Jackson… they’ve been inspired! At the end of the festival, 5 helmets will be selected for an auction sale and the money will be donated to the Les clowns de l’espoir charity.

Moving on to shopping, you can cast envious glances at the custom-made leather jacket by Roars Original, coming straight from Japan, admire the famous Schott perfecto that didn’t age even though it’s 90 years old, or go all vintage biker with Eudoxie.

On the walls, admire Richard Aujard’s rock’n’roll shots as a great boxing and motorbiking fan, as well as the giant murals by Alex & Marine, inspired by the animal world.

Without forgetting what makes the core of the Midnight Garage Festival: motorbikes! Starting with the brand-new Triumph: the Rocket 3 displayed and unveiled to the world for the first time in France. Both festival days will also be paced by masterclasses, shows, entertainments, screenings and live concerts… Motorbike lovers will be delighted for sure!
