Here is Burgundy’s answer to the Edinburgh Festival, four days and nights of street performances by the local Abattoir arts group and their associates, together with visiting artists from far flung places from Australia and Chile to Spain and Germany. More than 1000 artists will be taking part.

The Xarxa Teatre from Spain bring their street programme with fireworks. There’s Dries Verhoeven from the Netherlands offering a theatre of experience. There’s an urban opera, oXc-Odyssée plus tango for all in the street, concerts, ballet, circus and acrobats.

The vitality of the place over this weekend is infectious as thousands come to watch and join in. Enter the spirit!
