A family and friendly Festival in the Countryside
The atmosphere is good-natured. Families have settled in the grass, young people run and play, parents chat. Six teenagers, come together, laugh. A couple of elderly people have settled on folding chairs from another time that have stood the test of time. Others have deployed cover.
With family, between tourists, neighbors, friends, conversations are going well.
The sun is slowly going down, the spotlights are on, impatience is rising. It is 21 p.m., the artists are setting up. Beginning of the concert. Let's go for the music! It moves, it dances, the public sings, applauds, smiles.
The joy is seen on the faces.
At the car parks, at the security barriers, at the stands… 2000 volunteers are on deck!
Large parking lots are provided for parking and volunteers can be spotted with their colorful t-shirts. Wandering Hours, guide the vehicles. At the entrance to the site, other volunteers are there to welcome you.
In the stands, some are busy providing you with food and drinks. They are also present around the stage to accompany the professionals, settle the last details, bring a cable, monitor the security barriers, to guarantee the smooth running of the festival…
A sandwich and a drink in hand, quietly join the lawn while waiting for the start of the concert and enjoy this splendid view of the village at sunset.
