Follow the brotherhood parade live on video
Around 10:20 a.m., the rain unfortunately invited itself to the Brotherhoods. But that did not prevent all the participants from meeting at the foot of the town hall for the traditional family photo.
The Brotherhood Festival is obviously tastings. On the stand of the workshop of chefs and future chefs, things are happening. This morning, it was Eric Hubert from Table d’Arthur and Michel Collin who treated visitors to white pudding cooked with Gex blue cheese. Note that from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Mélanie Frey will offer a culinary workshop.
Around noon, the rain picked up. Although many went to take refuge under the big top, where the bare-bottomed cockroach and the bacon salad were warmed up, in the aisles, we cannot say that there was a crowd.
To the great despair of certain brotherhoods. “ We came with 300 kilos of cheese. We don’t hope to bring anything home, but with the rain we’re a little worried », confides Jean-Luc Passuello, president of the Confrérie du Bleu de Gex, participating for the first time.
Marching bands attract crowds
In the early afternoon, people began to return to the Festival, even though the rain continued to fall. It is especially the brass bands that attract the crowd. Several people attended the Bagard Arduinn show at the village dedicated to Burgundy.
Around 6 p.m., despite the rain and the cool weather, there were finally people at the Festival… under the arbors.
The Show Boulettes group was there. With their instruments, they set the mood just like the famous Jojo ball.
This evening, two concerts are planned are the big top: Oscar at 7:30 p.m. then System B around 9 p.m.
What is the weather forecast for tomorrow?
Good news, the rain should stop this Sunday, May 5. Météo France forecasts a very cloudy day, but without precipitation. In terms of temperatures, it promises to be a little warmer with 11 degrees in the morning and 16 in the afternoon.
