A grand historical parade to commemorate the Libération
The town celebrated the 81st anniversary, marking the Débarquement en Provence and the Libération of La Farlède.
The municipality commemorated a key moment in its history with the Libération festival. A rich and intergenerational program awaited residents and visitors in an atmosphere blending the duty of remembrance and popular festivities. The day began with a grand parade in period costumes and vehicles, hosted by the "Août 44" association and the "L'Écho du Faron" marching band.
The procession started from avenue de la République to reach the church forecourt, plunging spectators into the atmosphere of August 21, 1944, the date of the libération of the municipality.
Then, the patriotic ceremony was a solemn moment of reflection. In front of the stèle des Maréchaux de France, at the jardin Roger-Gensollen, civil and military authorities paid tribute to the liberators.
