On September 21, in celebration of the International Day of Peace, the municipality hosted a festive event at Plaine Guy Môquet, marking its first participation in the Live Peace initiative organized by the Mayors for Peace association.

Starting at 2 PM, the day featured a friendly football tournament, a participatory mural creation, and an exhibition of peace-themed drawings by children. Teams of five competed in 10-minute matches, with registration available online for both individuals and complete teams.

After the tournament, attendees enjoyed a communal picnic, either bringing their own meals or purchasing refreshments on-site, followed by a concert and a popular dance party with a DJ.
