The port of Granville, in Normandy, welcomes dozens of artists during the Welders' Night Festival
Come and discover some extraordinary artistic creations!
Passionate people make history
The Welders' Night was created almost 20 years ago, in 2004. This metal sculpture festival takes place every year in August.
Depending on the theme chosen, the artists create a work and present it to visitors during the event. The idea came from a group of artists to use the scrap metal left on the port of Granville.
Two skips are at the disposal of the artists to shape their production of the day.
At the end of the festival, the compositions are sold at auction. The profits allow the artists to live from their passion and their donation.
Each year, the sculptors are accommodated in a youth hostel on the night of the Welders' Night and a meal is also offered to them.
A 2024 edition on the theme of "Peace and love"
This year, Welders' Night returns on 3 and 4 August for a 19th edition on the theme of "Peace and Love". It's an optimistic theme, specially chosen to counterbalance the gloom in the news.
The festival will welcome around forty artists, blacksmiths and sculptors, ready to create their artistic projects live in front of the public.
To accompany them over the two days, there will be concerts, a variety of entertainment, a refreshment bar and on-site catering.
The auction will take place on Sunday afternoon.
