2025 Edition: July 14th in Period Costumes

On July 14, 2025, Néris-les-Bains once again donned its finest Belle Époque attire for this new edition of the festival. The streets of the spa town hosted the traditional costumed parade in front of the André-Messager Theater, where crinoline dresses, frock coats, and floral hats mingled with the magnificent vintage cars from the AMVA.

The sounds of hurdy-gurdies and barrel organs accompanied the strollers, while children enjoyed the old-fashioned carousel and traditional wooden games. Baton twirling demonstrations, carriage rides, and street entertainment completed this festive day, which concluded with the traditional popular dance.
