The festival is part of a popular revitalization campaign for the southwest sector of the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district. This campaign, led by the BAILS committee for two years now, aims to counter the problem of slums in this sector through the socialization of housing and, more recently,, with the People's Development Operation, to redevelop the neighborhood according to the wishes of those who live there. This neighborhood party is therefore part of this approach by trying to offer residents a free and friendly setting to reclaim their living environment..

This event is an invitation to all the inhabitants of the neighborhood and is intended to be family-friendly.. The festival will bring together the performances of many artists, ranging from song to the arts. Danse, improvisation musicale, games for children, skateboard mods, food and drink, animation, information, etc.
