Labeled events

To put together a schedule of events which will animate the entire Normandy territory during this anniversary year, the Normandy Region has worked on the labeling of several hundred of them, over a period which goes from March 1 to October 15, 2024.
Freedom concerts at Omaha Beach, Liberation balls, international parachuting of several hundred soldiers above Sainte-Mère-Eglise, etc. The festivities will take place throughout the year and particularly on sunny days. A great way for us all to join in this spirit of fraternity.
