Celebrate Swiss National Day at Fondation Opale with an afternoon dedicated to cultural diversity.

The festivities begin with an intergenerational tote bag painting workshop, led by Naroa from Le Grenier Créatif, from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

The afternoon continues with a performance by Tomer Even, an Israeli-Swiss percussionist, and Rupam Ghosh, an Indian violinist. Together, they blend Indian classical music with Middle Eastern rhythms. Through percussion, violin and vocals, let yourself be carried away on a musical journey across cultures, from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

To round off the celebrations, the Municipality of Lens will present a sound and light show over Lake Louché at 10:30 pm. Don’t forget to book your table at L’Opale Restaurant: its terrace offers a front-row view of the spectacle.
