The most important parades Picardie

A real popular festival at Cayeux-sur-Mer in the bay of the Somme. Adorned with a multitude of gladioli (nearly 9,000!) and multicoloured dahlias, the town becomes an even more lively place for a day. On the programme: parade of floats decorated with flowers by the associations, competition for the most beautiful float, musical entertainment in the afternoon at the city's kiosk and open-air disco in the evening on Boulevard du Général Sizaire, with a splendid fireworks display as a final bouquet. Every year, the public is present in large numbers in the streets of the city.

It is the event that attracts far beyond the region. Indeed, in the evening before May 1, approximately 25,000 spectators attend the concert, which brings together national poster heads. Since 2014, a partnership with NRJ radio has been instrumental in bringing the artists whose teens enjoy (with recent years: Amir, Louane, Kendji Girac and M Pokora…). The next day, the atmosphere is much more family, we come to the parade animated by dancers and artists of all kinds. The Queen of Muguet (which is the equivalent of Miss Compiègne) rides on a beautiful flowered cap and welcomes thousands of spectators. For the small story, a Muguet Queen has already become famous since Elodie Gossuin was then elected Miss France in 2000, before winning the Miss Europe contest. Today, radio announcer, she still lives in Compiegnois.
