Parc du Coteau-Marcel-Rosette
Starting at 6 PM, the celebration moves to the Parc du Coteau-Marcel-Rosette, one of the city's most popular green spaces. The program for this evening reflects the cultural diversity of Vitry-sur-Seine:
- A DJ set to warm up the crowd
- D2Bleya: rap and afrobeat, blending French and African influences
- Aïteka: Afro-Caribbean music with danceable and festive sounds
- Barrio del Este: salsa and Latin rhythms to make the park dance
The SUB Stage: Reggae and Dancehall Night

Vitry-sur-Seine, a city labeled "City of Contemporary Art" for its numerous murals and its MAC/VAL (museum of contemporary art), confirms with this event its vocation as an open and popular cultural hub.
