“Balatous”, the concert to celebrate 15 years of knitting cafe

In 2025, the knitting cafe at La Manufacture will celebrate its 15th anniversary! This milestone will be marked by a wonderful collaboration between the Compagnie du Tire-Laine and the Gang des Tricoteuses during a “Balatous”: two hours of dancing for young and old alike, to the rhythm of world music that accompanied the development of the textile industry in Roubaix!

This festive event is organized at La Manufacture in collaboration with the Compagnie du Tire-Laine and the Gang des Tricoteuses, as part of the Fêtes du Monde theme year.
