According to custom, those who wanted to ensure prosperity had to throw a coin into the fire. Come and enjoy a bonfire to the sounds of a guinguette (Concert at 8pm). Dates: free from 6 p.m., last entry at 9.30 p.m. Duration: evening (6pm to 10pm) Public: all audiences From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.: demonstration of long reins simulating horse-drawn carriage driving, in agricultural dress. By the Villeneuve d?Ascq Pony Club Concert. At 8:30pm Le Beau Milo has been working since 2013 to revive old-style bal musette in the Hauts de France: from the musette of the origins, and its mysteries, to the swing waltz of the 40s, via chanson réaliste, even weaving a link with folk music. No synthesizers, no electric guitars, no glitter, just guinguette and musette swing like you've never heard it before, on diatonic accordion, violin, banjo, "jâze" drums and, of course, vocals! Duration: 2 hours From 5 p.m.: our villagers join forces to make bundles of wood for a large bonfire, which will be lit around 8:30 - 9 p.m.. A chance to dance around the fire to celebrate the summer solstice
