25 ans, ça file ! Week-end anniversaire

Ready to celebrate? In 2001, the La Piscine and La Manufacture museums, as well as Roubaix, City of Art and History, were established in Roubaix. This marked the beginning of three cultural ventures that have been intertwined for 25 years now in the same city, renowned for its heritage and revitalized spaces. Whether in the Art Deco setting of La Piscine or the intimate atmosphere of La Manufacture, dance, concerts, and a banquet await you on October 23, 24, and 25 October for an extraordinary, festive weekend featuring the region’s most creative talents and partners!
