Les 24 heures vélo de Louvain-la-Neuve (English: the Bicycle 24 hours of Louvain-la-Neuve) is a Belgian festival organized by UCL students 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 forty thousand people and that it is the second largest "beer event" in Europe after the Oktoberfest. Approximately, 2000 students are implicated in the organisation of Les 24 heures vélo de Louvain-la-Neuve.
In 2006, the 30th edition of the event took place from the 25th to 26th October.
