This edition should have attracted a lot more people, but the shooting death of a man during the week shocked the neighborhood. ” The neighborhood has been bereaved and it’s not easy in these conditions to ask everyone to come and celebratebreathes Jean-Claude Isebaert, president of the Fresnoy-Mackelerie festival committee. To respect the pain of the family and the ongoing investigation, we have slightly modified our itinerary and the procession will be silent around the corner of rue de Rome and rue du Fresnoy. »
The procession, made up of El’Do Orchestra, Bell’Batuc, Wattrelos Circus, the Roncq Battery and the Déglingués, left the Henri-Isebaert square for a tour of the neighborhood before ending in style with a distribution of sweets.
