Grand parade in Cambrai, +/- 40,000 visitors enjoy the défilé with stiltwalkers, dancers, acrobats, music groups, circus artists and the unique bicycles of UniQcycle
On 15 August 2024, the city of Cambrai was invaded by a wave of colours, music and acrobatics during the annual parade. This event, which attracts thousands of visitors every year, was extra special this time thanks to a diverse range of artists and themes that enchanted the audience. This year's theme, inspired by the Olympic Games, brought a very friendly atmosphere to the streets of Cambrai and made for an unforgettable experience for young and old.
The parade began with traditional elements, such as the giant figures that paraded through the streets, welcoming the spectators with their imposing presence. Inès, the queen of the fair, and other icons of the city were warmly welcomed by the crowd. Soon, parades of stilt walkers, dancers and artists followed, each bringing their unique culture and art form to the fore.
One of the standout acts of the Cambrai défilé (parade) was UniQcycle, a spectacular performance by the group Circo di Strada. The acrobats of UniQcycle brought a unique twist to the event with their incredible skills on different types of bicycles. They rode tall unicycles and double-frame bicycles, performing impressive stunts such as handstands atop the tall bicycles. The performers’ colorful costumes and large, brightly colored wigs added even more visual splendor to their performance, making it one of the most memorable parts of the parade.
The public, gathered along the streets and on balconies, was visibly impressed by the varied program. The parade, characterized as a carnival parade with the theme "Jeux Olympiques", offered a wide range of entertainment, from traditional parades and dance groups to the breathtaking stunts of UniQcycle. With the perfect weather conditions and an estimated attendance of 40,000 people, it was a day full of joy and festivity.
The parade of 15 August in Cambrai proved once again why this event is one of the highlights of the summer. Not only does it provide a platform for local and international artists to showcase their talents, it also strengthens the community through a shared celebration of culture and creativity.
A day to remember, full of cultural wealth and artistic achievements.
