access-i.be, the platform on accessibility in Wallonia-Brussels

Over the course of more than ten editions, Les Solidarités has quickly established itself as one of the summer’s must-see festivals, with a diverse line-up to suit all audiences. !!! This year, the festival takes place from 4 to 6 September, once again at the Ecolys site in Namur.Les Solidarités is more than just a festival! It’s also a fabulous children’s village where they can have fun, share experiences and discover new things.But it’s also a socially conscious festival where discussions, debates and a radio programme will be on offer throughout the weekend.People with disabilities are not forgotten. Every year, improvements are made to ensure you are welcomed in the best possible conditions.Back again this year: vibrating vests will be available in the PRM areas for people with hearing impairments, or for those with other types of disability to try out.PLEASE NOTE: The planned facilities do not always allow for easy, independent movement across the grassy areas! The PRM-reserved areas are limited in size, so please plan well in advance which concerts you wish to attend.Esenca’s accredited representatives will inspect the facilities on the morning of Friday 4 September. Please therefore check for any changes before travelling to the venue.!!!! Advance booking of PRM parking is compulsory.As of 07/08/26,the PRM car park near the entrance is already almost full for Saturday 5 September. Consider the alternative at the aerodrome car park with shuttle buses, although this is not wheelchair accessible.Photo credit Les Solidarités 2026 : © SolidarisPhoto credits technical gallery : © Esenca - Christine Bourdeauducq
