The Water Holidays

  • Fête - Festival

With the Water Holidays, get ready to party!

This year, shows, animations and cruises will follow the rhythm of Fiesta lille3000! A festive weekend awaits you with a giant mobile and a discomobile that will move from town to town, an ephemeral dance floor 100% disco and a show reviving the festive atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties! Not to mention our unmissable cruises on the Deûle and the Lys!

Rue Review - The Parisian party!

With Revue de Rue, Quesnoy-sur-Deûle becomes the 21st district of Paris!
Revue de Rue by the company Remue-Ménage transports us into the atmosphere and bustle of cabarets from the 1920s to today. This sparkling creation like champagne, sensual and full of life inspires us to return to the party and magic. The desire to meet, go out, celebrate and embrace the street, believe and continue living together give the colors of this show. The dazzling characters inspired by haute couture and all feathers dressed, the dancers, the acrobats and the musical Iron Lady... All call us to the reunion in the street where public space brings us together again.
An unusual encounter full of joy and beauty, desire and nostalgia, inspired by the world characteristic of elegant and timeless French cabarets. An invitation to the Festival.
June 6 at 9pm • Quesnoy-sur-Deûle, Jocelyne Mahieux Park, rue Saint Vincent

Discoball - Tonight is disco night!

With the companies Les Mangeurs de Cercle and the Orchestre international du Vetex, enter the artificial fumes... the beams of the faceted balls appear!
Escape the deafening silence... You arrive in an open air dancefloor! Boris was right, tonight is disco night!
This monumental contemporary installation immerses you in a night world with disco aesthetics. The beats of music resonate in your ears! The acrobats hanging from pendulums and circles make you dizzy, the lights blind you. Tonight it’s decided, you will dance until... your last breath!
An ephemeral disco that will be set by a crazy brassband mixing Balkan music, tarentelle, polka and cumbia. A nice punky packaging!

The Discoballs surround our streets!

The DISCOBALLS, these evanescent figures, dressed in faceted balls, wander slipping through the crowd.
They attract you, rub you, caress you while setting the mood. They vibrate, dance to rhythmic and cheerful funky and disco music. They will be accompanied by a crazy DJ with his Discomobile Kitschissime!

Let’s sail in the clouds with Mobile'eau

Here, air and water mingle live. The bodies suspended at 20 m high play and are sometimes playing clouds, sometimes water, boats.
The whole touches the surface of the water... The 30 m diameter mobile and the artists evolve, driven by the crane, in weightlessness. Everything is composed of buildings, the sky, boats, water. The public, nose in the air plunges into the emotion of a poetry of scales replacing the man in his smallness. A large-format show with low profile and lightness.
