On March 21, 22, and 23, 2018, the "Campus en Fête" Festival will get students at the University of Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB) moving! This festival is the result of a collective effort by students in the Administrative and Commercial Management of Organizations (GACO) program atthe Chambéry University Institute of Technology (IUT) and members ofthe GACO Crescendo association, which began eight years ago. The festival has been going strong ever since, with new additions every year, offering numerous free concerts and cultural events on and off campus: Espace Vie Étudiante (EVE) on the Bourget-du-Lac campus at lunchtime; and in various venues in the city of Chambéry in the evening, such as the Quai des Arts, the B'Rock bar, and the O'Cardinal'S bar.
ON THE PROGRAM THIS YEAR
This eclectic festival brings together nearly 1,500 students every year and offers an impressive cultural diversity, from music to dance to visual arts. This year's program is just as impressive!
Every day at 12 noon – EVE Building
ENAAI mural
Located in Technolac, ENAAI brings together students who want to pursue a career in the arts. Increasingly motivated and creative, the school's students are busy throughout the year redecorating the city of Chambéry. For this new edition of the festival, the budding artists will be present on all three days of the festival, at lunchtime at the Espace Vie Étudiante, and will create a giant fresco that is a work in progress!
The Star Rekindlers
"It is high time to rekindle the stars..." " This verse by Apollinaire takes on its full meaning in these dark times, which are conducive to obscurantism of all kinds. To keep the sparkle in our eyes and hearts alive, but also to fight against this dehumanizing society, our association "Les Rallumeurs d'étoiles" (The Star Rekindlers) invites you to discover flying objects from around the world... The association invites anyone who wishes to participate in decorating a giant balloon ready to fly into the air... or not! They will be present at the three lunchtimes during the festival.

12 p.m. – Mountain Mountain concert (Pop-Rock) – EVE Building 
Mountain Mountain began with a chance encounter between two musicians on a train station platform. Nicolas and Sébastien discovered they shared the same musical tastes, a passion, and a common dream. This technicolor journey with powerful, soaring resonances is now enhanced by three new members from diverse backgrounds. The result of this musical collaboration? An epic journey oscillating between dream pop and psychedelic rock that explores the colors of emotions and the boundaries of dreaminess.
9 p.m. – Concert by KOS (Electro-Pop) – Quai des Arts (1 Place du Palais de Justice in Chambéry)
KØS is a boy and a girl, Johan and Juliette, who come straight from Lyon. The two Lyonnais have managed to create a unique and well-defined universe that transports us from the very first listen. The duo invites us on a journey, a mysterious journey through soft and captivating music.

The Campus en Fête festival gives Hoyz the opportunity to perform his music live for the first time!
Victor Yvetot, aka VCR, is a young artist from Grenoble who recently became a beatmaker, drawing inspiration from funk, electro, and chill music. His music draws you into a relaxed vibe that can simultaneously get you moving and make you want to dance.
