Presentation
Get ready to shiver! Big scares and bursts of laughter guaranteed for this Halloween day!
The streets of the old town will don their most dreadful attire. Beware as you enter, for terrifying and ghastly characters will be waiting for you. Get your scariest costumes ready and come share a day full of chills, laughter and magic…
Programme:
4 pm – 7 pm – Old Town: A journey to the heart of fear and festivity
Workshops and activities by the company La Muse
This year, get ready to shiver and dream: gargoyles come to life and invade the church square, turning the town into a cathedral of gothic nightmares. In the fairground lanes, even the undead are smiling.
And when the guitars of a skeleton mariachi quartet start playing, all of Mexico’s Día de los Muertos comes to you: bright colors, wild rhythms, and a macabre joy that celebrates both life and the afterlife.
Let yourself be swept into this fantastic journey, where every street corner becomes a gateway to another world… Will you dare to cross the threshold?
