Lunel: Lunel Dynamics celebrates the end of the first phase of work
|Deux fêtes sont organisées ce samedi : un marché artisanal en journée et la fête du Muscat le soir. Midi Libre – JPS
L’association des commerçants propose ce samedi 29 juin, deux occasions festives de déambuler dans les premières artères du cœur de ville réaménagé. Suivez le guide.
Marie-Thérèse Séverac, president of the merchants' association La Dynamique lunelloise and the dozen members of the office have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Suffice it to say that it was not the pessimistic weather forecasts for this Saturday, June 29 that could make them give up celebrating in their own way, that is to say festive and commercial, the release of construction equipment from cours Péri, place Louis Rey, rue du Captain Ménard, place des Caladons, rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau, place Jean-Moulin and, since last year, rue de the Liberation.
Two animations or nothing
At the initiative of traders and with the support of Lunel Agglo, the City, the CCI, the CMA, two festivals will enliven these streets from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m. « After this first long period of work, our objective is, without delay, to bring people back into the city center and discover the heart of Lunel »< /em>, enthuses Marie-Thérèse Séverac.
From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Dynamique lunelloise is first organizing its first summer craft market. An unprecedented initiative which was to attract 54 exhibitors (around ten announced this Friday their intention to give up their presence due to the weather forecast). Designers of jewelry, ceramics, terrariums, leather workers, professionals specializing in baby accessories… will sit in the city center all day.
A tour in the heart of the city
« We positioned these stands by imagining a circuit that will allow visitors to explore the city center », specifies the president of the Dynamique lunelloise. Exhibitors will thus invest in Cours Péri, Place de la République, a central part of Rue de la Libération and Passage de Libération in Les Caladons. Two musical periods will mark this craft market: first in the morning (9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.), the peña pescalune Mithra will stroll through town then, from 3 p.m., three “scenes” musical and three atmospheres will animate, the cours Péri (at the level of the forecourt of the halls) with the Lunel singer Véronique Moulette, the place de la République with the guitarist and jazzman Alain Barbeiro and finally rue de la Libération, near the premises of the & rsquo;association of merchants, with carte blanche to the music school.
Seven wineries to taste in the evening
Barely have the stands of the craft market started to fold the parasols when the other event of the day will begin: the 2nd Muscat festival that the Dynamique is organizing, like every year last, in partnership with the company J & J Events from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. A party that « expands, expands and renews itself », summarizes Marie-Thérèse Séverac. Concretely, purchasing a pack for 10 € will allow you to obtain a glass and will give the right to two tastings among the 7 winegrowers of the region (read below) present. The latter will settle on Place Louis Rey, the square in front of the Notre-Dame-du-Lac church and the Caladons. They will not be alone since the public who wishes to extend the tasting with local products will be able to eat at the 8 food stands run by Lunel traders. « Those who, after tasting, prefer to take the time and sit down in nearby restaurants will also be able to do so », adds the president of the traders' association .
The Muscat festival will not only be watered and delicious but it will also give pride of place to music since on Place des Caladons, Salsalune will lead the public into dancing as will DJ Alex, on Place Louis- Rey.
Obviously, both events will adapt to the situation in case of bad weather.
