Les Fanals Festival
Lantern Festival


This festival typically from Saint-Louis, takes place during the last week of December, this is a night parade. Real full-bodied works, buildings representing the city of St. Louis up to 5 m high, covered with brightly colored wallpaper.
The parades of these fanals, illuminated from within by candles, is accompanied by 
singing and the beat of drums. The St. Louisiennes, coated Signares required to, bring the past of the old colonial city. This event is a real contest of ingenuity and délégance between the neighborhoods of St. Louis.
