A free night of impersonators, a music-quiz and a DJ set at Boom Boom Villette

Boom Boom Villette hosts the Carna’Bal des Sosies Foirés for its inaugural Paris edition, Saturday, April 18, 2026. This free, advance-registration-only evening leans into faux look-alikes, wordplay, music, and activities, all set in a festive, relaxed atmosphere.

This time, the look-alikes won’t need to resemble anyone in particular! Boom Boom Villette welcomes in Paris the Carna’Bal des Sosies Foirés, a free party (though by reservation) organized on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Conceived by the Bordeaux collective La Brigade du Bonheur, the event rests on a simple idea: show up dressed as a humorously reimagined celebrity. The aim isn’t to perfectly imitate a star, but to play with words and costumes, with characters like Chuck Nourrice, Steven Cigale, or Johnny à Lidl.

The Carna’Bal des Sosies Foirés picks up the offbeat world developed by the Brigade du Bonheur, centered around witty stickers and invented characters. At Boom Boom Villette, the concept becomes a participatory night where the audience sits at the heart of the vibe. Everyone is invited to come in costume, to join in the game, and to enjoy a festive moment without taking themselves too seriously. The idea is to offer a convivial night out, one where people come as much to laugh as to dance and to share a good time.

Several activities are planned for the evening. The crowd will be able to take part in a giant blind test, catch a live concert by the group Boule Jukebox, and then discover the Walk of Fake, a quirky costume contest that will showcase participants’ creations. The winner will see their character transformed into an illustrated sticker live, in keeping with the collective’s universe. The night will wrap up with a DJ set running until 2 a.m.

Creative stalls, makeup, and glitter will also enrich the event. Attendees will furthermore be able to enjoy all areas of Boom Boom Villette, including the food market, to extend the evening in a lively setting. Free and available by registration, this Parisian debut of the Carna’Bal des Sosies Foirés offers a straightforward formula: a party open to everyone, built on humor, participation, and the desire for a lighthearted night out. Now the question is how this offbeat gathering will be received by the Parisian public.
