Festive Friday evenings in Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise
Polofolies are a summer event in Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise. Every Friday during the summer, the Square de Warstein comes alive from 4:30 PM with concerts, circus, dance, street theater, and workshops for children. Organized by the municipality with the support of ATRE and Cirqu'en Cavale, Polofolies offers family-friendly programming accompanied by a market of local producers, creating a moment of meeting and conviviality in the heart of the Ternois region.
For several years, Polofolies has set the rhythm for Friday evenings in Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise during the summer. This weekly event, supported by the municipality, transforms the Square de Warstein into a place of celebration and meeting for all the inhabitants of the Ternois region and surrounding towns.
Each Friday, Polofolies offers a different program: concerts of various music genres, circus performances with the Cirqu'en Cavale company, street theater shows, dance animations, and tribute bands. The diversity of offerings appeals to a wide audience and keeps interest high throughout the summer season.
Polofolies places great importance on the younger audience. The ATRE association and the Cirqu'en Cavale company lead circus, juggling, and creative arts workshops for children in the early evening. These participatory workshops allow children to discover artistic disciplines while having fun, before enjoying the main show of the evening.
In addition to the shows, a small market of local producers is set up in the park for each edition. Visitors can taste and buy local products from Artois: cheeses, cured meats, craft beers, honey, and other regional specialties. This market enhances the friendly and gourmet aspect of the event.
Beyond the artistic program, Polofolies is above all a moment for meeting. The stated goal is to allow residents to gather in a relaxed atmosphere, build social connections, and share a pleasant moment with family or friends. The Square de Warstein, with its green spaces and peaceful ambiance, is perfectly suited for this summer gathering.
A charming small town in the heart of the Ternois region, Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise is the capital of a hilly and green rural area between Artois and Ternois.

Polofolies returns in the summer of 2026 for a new season of festive Fridays at the Square de Warstein. Concerts, circus, street theater, and a producers' market on the program.
