Among all the ecological events organized in the region, Roubaix's sustainable Christmas market is always a success. And with good reason: combining sustainability and respect for the environment with the magic of Christmas is a winning combo today. Over forty chalets host local exhibitors showcasing their eco-responsible creations made from recycled materials, amid playful themed workshops and 100% recycled decor!

In 2019, the 1st edition of the festival attracted 13,000 spectators. A real success that the festival teams intend to repeat in 2020! This time, the edition should last two weeks with numerous animations, workshops and festive and animated evenings. Big names have been invited such as Alexandre Desplat and Jacques Audiard, but the big event not to be missed will be the exclusive French screening of Skyfall at the Zenith on November 25th. James Bond accompanied by a symphony orchestra: that's a promise! Other events in association with large structures such as the NPO will be organized. The Ciné-Concert festival has not finished making us dream!

In January 2019, La Cave aux Poètes created We Loft Music on the premise that rhyming music and heritage is far from impossible! The result is a unique traveling urban festival that brings music from all horizons to some of the most atypical venues in the Metropole. From La Piscine to the Protestant temple, via the Villa Cavrois and the former Banque de France, the 4 editions of this festival of astonishing concerts have proved that breaking codes works! As for where the^5th edition of the We Loft Music Festival will take place, the suspense is still there..
