Gala LocoFolies 2023

On Thursday, November 16, 2023, we rolled out the turquoise carpet to celebrate volunteer enthusiasm: the real engine behind this collective adventure that is LocoMotion.

A historic announcement for LocoMotion

The very first Gala LocoFolies was the stage for a major announcement. The Solon organization, which has supported LocoMotion since the project had its training wheels, handed over the steering wheel for it to become an independent organization!
