About this event


⚠️ Event concluded. Please check our updated agenda to discover new activities in this region.

The Fêtes de Kopierre are Aniche’s June celebration of a figure deeply attached to local folklore. Kopierre, the town’s generous-hearted giant, appears through a programme of music, brocante, decorated bicycles, gatherings and procession. The Sunday tribute to Alexandre Consil, known as Kopierre, gives the festival a personal memory as well as a festive one. In a region where giants remain central to public celebration, the event gives Aniche a distinctive place in the living folklore of the Nord and keeps a civic character moving through the streets.
