From November 22 to December 8, Dijon and its metropolis will host the 24th edition of the “Les Nuits d’Orient et d’ailleurs” festival. Born in the region of Grésilles, this festival celebrates the cultures of the world, from North Africa to the Far East, including southern Europe and Central Asia. Over the years, it has expanded to every other neighborhood and city, to offer the public a rich and varied artistic and cultural exploration.

Program between cultural diversity and openness
Every year, the festival gives visitors the chance to discover artistic and contemporary traditions from the Mediterranean region and beyond. Les Nuits d’Orient positions itself as a cultural crossroads, encouraging intercultural exchanges and understanding. By integrating ideas from other places, the event aims to encourage reflection and debates about solidarity, diversity and mutual respect.

Initiatives co-constructed by residents and partners
This year, the festival benefits from the active collaboration of several partners, including cultural centers, institutions, associations, artists and neighborhood structures. Flagship projects include:
– “Working together around contemporary art”: a project involving residents in the creation of art, encouraging meetings and sharing experiences.
– “On the way to a new life”: a show that pays tribute to migrants and their courageous journey.

An inclusive festival, accessible to all
In keeping with its inclusive values, the festival offers programs that are accessible to all audiences and strives to offer rich experiences. The program includes workshops, exhibitions, performances, and music, dance and theater performances, with cultural mediation initiatives to bring audiences closer to different art forms.
