This Monday, May 1st, during the Cimiez Fรชte des Mai, the representative of the Nice culture will be elected from among five young candidates vying for the title of Queen of May 2017.
Starting at 2:30 PM, a Nice parade in the Cimiez gardens will lead the candidates to the central stage where the election will open at 3:00 PM.
Each candidate will present her personality and love for the local culture, supported by a speech and a performance of her choice (music, singing, dance, theater). Together, they will offer a varied show, bilingual in French/Niรงois.
The aim of the Queen of May election is to provide an expressive platform for the youth of Nice, giving them a voice on their identity and culture. This event allows the public, media, and associations to update their perspectives on the relationship between youth and traditions.
