As part of "Fiesta, 7th edition of lille3000", we invite you to celebrate Samonios at the Asnapio park!
This Gallic festival listed in one of the oldest existing calendars, that of Coligny, marks the end of the year and the beginning of another.
To celebrate it, we invite you to an itinerant camp of Celts from the South and North of Gaul. Forty Gauls invite you to discover their daily life on their camps during this festive moment: alliance banquets, bards duels, conflicts and fights, ceremonial processions and ceremonies around the stake will follow.
Craft demonstrations will be offered: working with leather and clay, textiles, presentations of weaponry, glassware...
Animations fights every afternoon at 4 PM and numerous ongoing participatory workshops to learn more about this period.
Processions and ceremonies around the stake at 17:45 on Saturday and 18:00 on Sunday.
With Randa Ardesca, Les Ambiani, Galates and Margotton.
Exceptional presence of Ludovic Gobbo in the afternoons, who will dedicate his comic strip 'Bibracte'.
On-site snack stands.
Attention! Line 1 of the metro will be under construction. To access the park, you will have to take line 2 which will lead to Fort de Mons, then Liane 6 to the LAM or Comices.
