Ready to party? In 2001, the museums La Piscine and La Manufacture as well as Roubaix City of art and history were born in Roubaix. Then began three cultural adventures that have been intertwined for 25 years now in the same city with a recognized and reconverted heritage.
Whether in the Art Deco setting of La Piscine or the intimate atmosphere of La Manufacture, dance, concerts, and a banquet await you on October 23, 24, and 25 for an extraordinary festive weekend in collaboration with the region’s most creative talents and partners!
On the program for this anniversary weekend at La Piscine:
🌙 Friday, October 23 | Opening night (6 p.m. –8 p.m.)
Launch of the festivities! The museum pool will vibrate to the sound of Pool Blue with an original dance performance by Anne Perbal (Cie Les Yeux Grands Fermés) inspired by the movements of the four swims.

🎉 Saturday, October 24 | A festive evening on the water! (7 p.m. – 11 p.m.)
