The Lille Braderie, or almost... welcome to "Lille reste en fête"!

The Lille Braderie takes place on the first weekend of September. The program features 10,000 exhibitors, including 300 professional antique dealers. The city of Lille transforms into one of the largest flea markets in Europe, thanks in part to its 3 million visitors. Be sure to try the traditional dish of the Braderie: moules-frites (mussels and fries), which will be served in every restaurant in the city.

‍

However, the traditional Lille Braderie will not take place this year. Authorities decided to suspend the event following the attacks of July 14, 2016. The organizers have done everything possible, working with merchants, cultural figures, and restaurateurs, to ensure that this first weekend of September remains a festive occasion, under maximum security conditions. Welcome to "Lille reste en fête." From Saturday, September 3rd to Monday, September 5th, fans of great deals, comics, gastronomy, and culture will have plenty to celebrate.
