ZikaMansle

ZikaMansle is an association based in Mansle-les-Fontaines, Charente, that organises the ZikaMansle Festival, a community-focused event combining music, arts, entertainment and local experiences. Designed to welcome a broad public, the festival turns the town into a lively gathering place with activities for different ages and interests.

Its programme includes the ZikaVillage, featuring activities, local associations, games and stands; the ZikaParade, an artistic procession through the town; and ZikaCinoche, which presents local cinema screenings. The festival also hosts an evening of five concerts, bringing together established artists and emerging talent. Many activities are free and open to all, while concert tickets are available through the festival’s ticketing service.

ZikaMansle invites people to take part as volunteers in roles including reception, refreshments, logistics and event activities. It also works with local and regional partners, offering organisations an opportunity to support culture and gain visibility. The association is affiliated with France’s Centre National de la Musique and holds live-performance licences.
