Everything the announcement says

Every detail, as the festival announced it.

On 31 October, Pierrefeu came alive to celebrate the Fête de la Soupe, with a festive and bewitching atmosphere on Halloween evening.
This edition drew young and old into the village streets for a warm, convivial moment.
The evening began with Halloween animations that made the bravest shiver. Children dressed as various creatures and monsters wandered in search of sweets and surprises. They also enjoyed a pumpkin decorating workshop and a horror trail set up by the Espace Jeunes on square Grenedan.
The soup stalls, carefully prepared by the various associations, filled the air with delicious smells of pumpkin, chestnut and other seasonal flavours.
Dance and fire shows amazed the public early in the evening, then the bravest ventured into the village streets, turned into 'streets of horror', during the Halloween parade. Finally, the Suzy Swing Sisters Trio and the Guinguette Hot Club set Place Gambetta on fire; it was decorated for the occasion by volunteers of the association Pierrefeu Terres de Partage.
To eat, besides the soups, food trucks were available all evening, and of course the village shopkeepers, who fed all the little monsters even late in the evening.
The commune and its events department thank all participants and the association Pierrefeu Terres de Partage, which co-organised and set up the decorations and animations thanks to its many volunteers.
