  • Les 24 heures vélo de Louvain-la-Neuve est une fête estudiantine belge qui se tient à Louvain-la-Neuve. Cet événement a été lancé par le cercle des étudiants ingénieurs de l'UCLouvain, le Cercle Industriel, en 1976 mais l'organisation a depuis été reprise par des étudiants membres du kot-à-projet CSE Animations (Centre Sportif Étudiant). Au fil des ans, cette manifestation est devenue la plus importante fête estudiantine de Belgique. En effet, chaque année au mois d'octobre, près de 50 000 étudiants se retrouvent dans la ville universitaire pour ce rassemblement sportif, guindaillesque et humanitaire. (fr)

  • Les 24 heures vélo de Louvain-la-Neuve (English: the 24-hour bike ride of Louvain-la-Neuve) is a Belgian festival organized by students from the University of Louvain (UCLouvain) held every year during October in Louvain-la-Neuve. The main event is a 24-hour bicycle relay race spanning the whole city, surrounded by the crowd during various music concerts and parties. It is said that the event gathers more than fifty thousand people and that it is the second largest "beer event" in Europe after the Oktoberfest. Approximately, 2000 students are involved in the organisation of Les 24 heures vélo de Louvain-la-Neuve. In 2006, the 30th edition of the event took place from 25 to 26 October. The 2008 event passed without major incident, with between 45,000 and 50,000 people attending. The 2009 edition, taking place from 21 to 22 October, was attended by more than 40,000 people. One particularly serious accident left a young man at risk of paralysis after a fall. In 2012, the event took place from 24 to 25 October. About 40,000 people attended, but it was relatively trouble-free, with only 23 arrests, less than the previous year. (en)

C'est un événement où on consomme énormément de bière (73 000 litres en 2012) : ce qui en ferait selon certains dires le second événement en débit de bière d'Europe après l'Oktoberfest. (fr)
