Do you feel the impatience that hovers over the city? Spring has officially been here for more than a month, but the sunny days are still waiting to happen in Lyon. This sweet period, between the gray winter and the unbearable scorching summer, is long overdue and we have been struggling for too long weeks now. We therefore hope for the return of aperitifs on terraces, picnics on the banks and open-air festivals.
Come on spring, finally put down your suitcases loaded with good humor, long days and festive events in Lyon. We’re waiting for more than you!
We want the sun to enjoy the events (often outdoors) this May in Lyon.
Crescendo at the Subs from May 2, 2024
Like every year, the Subs transform their huge terrace into a fabulous artistic playground. After welcoming an enormous Kraken, then blue fountains, it is a giant, curvy work that takes place in the middle of the buildings. Numerous shows, most of them free, and a well-stocked bar will prove that you can have an aperitif and be cultured at the same time (We love this kind of evening where we go to bed less stupid, but more drunk). The opening weekend and festivities are scheduled for May 2 to 5. It is FREE !
