FESTIVAL OFFF
As usual, many bars, food trucks and DJ sets will fire up the Jardin anglais during its legendary AFFFTERS, from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m. on week days, and until 2 a.m. at the weekend.
Among the many cocktails at the bar, you will find one called D.IA.NE, which includes a local ingredient with supernatural properties that played a role in creating our artificial intelligence. Thanks to Larusée, a flask of this amniotic fluid is even available at the festival’s merchandising stand!
Two night parties at Case à Chocs round out the NIFFF’s AFFFTERS line-up:
