Intro
National Day
1st August lights up at Grandes-Rames
The evening will begin at 6 PM with the opening of the beverage and food stands. To mark the start of the celebration, the public is invited to share an aperitif offered by the City from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. The programme will feature pop-rock music from High5, alternating with illuminated performances and parades by the circus company Paradox.
