The Fête de Neuilly will begin on Sunday

She will be this year. particularly bright and cheerful. With the month of June, the Neuilly festival returns to us, the one which, due to its setting and the time when it opens its doors, is rightly considered the most splendid of fairground events. The two kilometers in a straight line which extend from the Porte de Neuilly to the point which ends it, are currently disrupted by the installation of booths and carousels. But there is a particularity that distinguishes the fair of Neuiliv from other festivals of this kind, it is the luxury of decoration that is deployed there.

The Electricity Fairy

Two luminous quadruple pylons form the pillars of a monumental gate standing at its entrance. They are surmounted by a frontispiece representing luminous fountains which, by an artifice of electricity, simulate cascades of light with the most astonishing effect. At each crossroads, other luminous pylons of lesser importance have been artistically arranged. All this truly magical lighting costs the municipality of Neuilly around forty thousand francs worth of electricity each year.

Nearly 400 Attractions

Three hundred and eighty showmen shared the pitches, by right of seniority. Already two large theaters and three of the most important menageries have set up their trailers. A circus sets up its large circular tent, rides of all kinds, tobogans, roller coasters put the finishing touches to their assembly operations. Next to them. shootings and merchants of berlingots, the most diverse attractions, of all sizes, set up their stalls.

The Nenillv fair, known all over the world, attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, it is the big recipe of the year for fairgrounds, it lasts three weeks and has four Sundays, from June 10 to July 1 inclusive .

Only one shadow on the board: the detestable temperature we are going through, the recipe being, there is no doubt about it, directly due to the weather.
