The municipality’s ambition for this summer season: recreate social ties and offer accessible programming
July 4, 2022 marked the official launch of the cultural and sports summer season in the city of Annecy. With “A summer in Annecy” the city offers leisure, sports and cultural events.
To name but a few: 32 open-air cinema screenings, live shows with “Aah! The beautiful season »fireworks, balls and concerts for July 14, “The brunches of Thiou” in Cran-Gevrier every Sunday.… And also among these events: “Railway Mondays”with the program: theater, concerts, dance, workshops…
An event that takes place, all this summer, as its name suggests, every Monday at “la Friche des Rails”, this wooded park at the crossroads of avenue de Loverchy and rue de la Cité in Annecy.
“A district still little known to the inhabitants of Annecy” says Fabien GÉRY, deputy in charge of culture and cultural associations. So for the chosen one, this summer program is an opportunity to give him a spotlight: “We really wanted in the service of culture, which I represent, to bring this place to life and that there are more inhabitants who know it, who can then seize it as associations, professionals, artists. … That’s why we made the most eclectic program possible, which can appeal to children and adults alike. »
Behind this programme, which is part of “A summer in Annecy”, the municipality’s desire to offer accessible events and to create links. Fabien Géry details the ambition of the municipality for this summer season: “The objective is that residents of Annecy can have access to free events in their neighborhood or at appropriate prices, to varied shows of all aesthetics so that everyone can participate in the cultural life of the city. But also for those who are not on holiday, they can enjoy cultural or sporting activities here all summer long. » For her part, Catherine Allard, assistant in charge of sports and sports associations explains: “After two years with the covid, we have to rekindle the desire to go out, to find ourselves. For us it is very important that the inhabitants rediscover the desire to be together and to create links. »
Culture is not the only one to be highlighted this summer by the City of Annecy, sport and the sports associations of the new town are also.
With “Summer Vitality”, from July 11 to August 31, 2022, the city offers sports activities open to adults from the age of 18, and organized in public spaces or natural sites. 15 activities are thus proposed, among them, basketball, boxing, Afro dance, or even table tennis.
Catherine Allard: explains “It’s a way to get people out of their homes, to recover or to try their hand at a sporting activity. »
In all, 230 cultural and sporting activities will be offered throughout the summer by City departments and local associations. All the programming can be found on the website of the city of Annecy: www.annecy.fr
