FESTIVAL LA CITADELLE EN BORDÉES
Read moreSince 1991, every year since 1991, the Citadel has been abuzz with excitement. Together with the band La Citadelle, at carnival time, the festival La Citadelle en Bordées is the second highlight of the year for this sailors' district. In Dunkirk, the Citadel is surrounded by basins, it can only be accessed by bridges, so it is a sort of small "island" with a soul and is still very much dedicated to the economy of the port and the sea. This festival therefore logically resounds with sailors' songs, but also with folk, Celtic groups, blues, and French songs that are sometimes offbeat and humorous. At Les Bordées, you'll find people flitting from stage to stage (there are 10 of them!) and from café to café. And when it comes to bars and restaurants, there's plenty to choose from! In addition to these establishments that set up large tables outside, there is always the possibility of eating "a French fry", along the heritage ships of the Port Museum, strolling in the middle of an often compact crowd, especially at the Quai de la Citadelle, and being guided by the sound of the bands. The people of Dunkirk love this event and it's easy to see why. About twenty groups can be seen free of charge. Atmosphere until the end of the night!

More than ever proud of their fishing village, there are more than a hundred each year to break up the country's small grey shrimp more quickly than their shadow to be sacred champions of the world. An event worthy of the user's friendliness. Who will beat the title of the title, Nicole Vanzinghel, who can break up 134 grams of shrimp in 10 minutes?

FESTIVAL DE L'ANDOUILLE
Read moreSince 1962, on the first weekend of September, the town of Aire-sur-la-Lys celebrates its culinary speciality: andouille sausages. Lots of entertainment in town, lots of people and a euphoric atmosphere! Concerts punctuate the evenings since the creation of the festival. Big names in French-speaking music have taken part, such as Michel Sardou, Johnny Hallyday or more recently Arcadian. But the event not to be missed is the release of charcuterie from the bailiwick by the mayor and his guests: a crazy local tradition, to be recommended!
