The madness of Carnival is about to sweep through Lyon! For its 31st edition, the famous Saint-Georges Dragon Carnival returns to the beautiful old town neighborhood. The date is set for Saturday, May 17, departing from Place Valensio (metro and parking at Vieux-Lyon, St Georges district).
Parade, Fireworks, and Dancing Under the Stars
This edition will be bursting with colorful disco vibes, and the schedule promises to be jam-packed all day long with plenty of glitter and sparkle: face painting for kids and adults, a parade through the Saint-Georges neighborhood to the rhythm of two batucadas (the Batudamba from MJC de Vieux Lyon and the Brazucada group) and a giant dragon, refreshments and snacks available on site, the Burning of Mr. Carnival in front of the Saint-Georges church, the unmatched fireworks display shot from the Saint-Georges footbridge, not to mention the grand ball under the stars with free concerts!
The celebration is shaping up to be fantastic in the most beautiful neighborhood of Lyon!
