Bal populaire

Once again this year, the Institut Français (IF) in Mannheim is hosting the “Bal populaire” on France’s National Day, July 14. 

A wide-ranging program for the whole family awaits visitors, featuring good food, information, and activities for children. There will be plenty of music, too—after all, it’s time to dance. 

The IF Mannheim is particularly looking forward to welcoming Mannheim’s Mayor Christian Specht, who will deliver a welcome address on this festive occasion. 

Here’s what visitors can expect:

5:00 p.m. – Concert by the choir of the Pierre et Marie Curie French School in Heidelberg

5:30 p.m. – Concert by “Les enfants de la Bal”

5:30 p.m. – Live magic show with MysterFred

7:00 p.m. – Welcome address by Mayor Christian Specht

7:30 p.m. – Concert by “Les Frères Lapoisse”

You’ll also find delicious food and a selection of drinks at the Mannheim Wine Shop booth. Other vendors offering a variety of goods will also be on site.

And another must-see: the popular IF Wheel of Fortune!
