A Festive Program Over Several Days

The Pentecost weekend in Aigurande is marked by various events:

• Saturday: Opening of the funfair with rides and attractions for all ages.

The Flower Floats, Aigurande's Pride

The highlight of the Pentecost celebrations is undoubtedly the parade of flower floats on Sunday. These floats, carefully decorated by the various associations and neighborhoods of the town, parade through the streets of Aigurande, accompanied by music and entertainment. In the evening, the floats are illuminated for a second, even more spectacular night parade, creating a magical atmosphere in the streets of this small Berry town.
