Every year, La Rue est à Amiens transforms the city. The artists – actors, dancers, circus artists, musicians – take over the streets, squares and gardens for a weekend and present diverse and original creations for public spaces.
Between performances, there are installations and participatory projects. 30,000 spectators enjoy 3 days of the festival. Through funny, intimate, poetic or spectacular encoutners, La Rue est à Amiens aims to change our view and our use of the city. The festival is a source of unexpected encounters in a friendly and festive spirit.
The loyalty of the Amiens, very attached to street arts, has allowed the festival to grow for more than 40 years. It is now one of the oldest in France. Each year, at the Place des Arts Forains, the Saturday night meeting brings together thousands of residents as a focal point in a convivial space.
