Roubaix à l'Accordéon

Roubaix à l'Accordéon, launched in 1997, revives the spirit of Roubaix's 1920s and 1930s guinguette dance halls, built around the accordion and its repertoire. Concerts are held under the Magic Mirror marquee set up on Roubaix's Grand Place, in a lively, popular-festival atmosphere. Since 2016 the lineup has opened up to rock acts too, while still giving pride of place to artists who make the accordion their signature instrument.
