Celebration: a unifying theme
The 2025 edition of the festival is designed to create social links through its parades, balls, carnivals and participatory events, offering a space for people to meet and express themselves. It's a celebration of freedom and diversity. With ‘Fiesta’, lille3000 is committed to a process of sharing and appropriating culture for all, by involving local inhabitants in artistic creation.
A bridge between cultures and territories
With the choice of the term ‘Fiesta’, this year's event is designed to open up to influences from the South and to celebrate cultural wealth. The event brings together not only the cultural facilities of Lille Metropole and the surrounding region, but also local residents, NGOs and artists. Through close collaboration, lille3000 offers an accessible and inclusive programme designed to reach audiences far removed from traditional cultural circuits.
A source of art and tourist attraction
The 2025 edition will focus on artistic cross-disciplinarity and creativity inspired by the festival. Major parades, urban exhibitions and participatory projects will punctuate the event, echoing international collaborations, notably with Brazil. The aim is twofold: to position Lille and its region as a must-see tourist destination, while offering residents a festive and cultural summer, even for those who don’t have the opportunity to go away on holiday.

The MuMo on tour across the city...
From the 27th of April to the 30th of July, the MuMo (Mobile Museum) will be making a comeback and touring the city with a brand new exhibition specially designed for Fiesta. ‘Pump up the volume’ invites participants to discover the links between music and contemporary art. The exhibition brings together a variety of artistic forms (posters, videos, photographs, sculptures, drawings, paintings and performances) to explore how music moves us and affects us. The aim? To create a dialogue between the eye and the ear, a piece of music or a canvas, an instrument or a visual technique.
