Description

Come and discover the crazy parade of OFNIs (Unidentified Floating Objects)!
The OFNIs will be parading in Ars-en-Ré on 2 August in a spirit of fun and good humour on the Optimist basin. At 5 pm: water games between the Smurfs. Followed by the OFNI challenge, which will kick off with dancing and singing to cheer on the OFNI crews as they parade around the Optimist basin in their quirky craft. This year’s theme: cartoons! Prizes will be awarded to recognise the competitors’ imagination and courage. Les Gaillards des Pertuis will be there to provide entertainment throughout the day. This parade is open to all young people aged 7 to 77 who are ready to build and sail a floating craft that looks like anything but a boat. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Bertrand Dupic by phone on 06 74 35 31 72 or by email at [email protected] Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
