For the second year running, Centropolis celebrated, from dawn to dusk, the opening of their summer program.

These are some of the activities that will be available until the end of August.
At the end of the day there was a show at the fountain in Place Centrale with musicians, singers, dancers, trapeze and other artists.
The summer line up
On Thursday, Aug. 21, the film Moulin Rouge will be presented in an open air screening. People are encouraged to dress up in frills, sequins and boas.
