Who says Halloween says Nigloween
The Nigloland amusement park in Dolancourt remains open every day until Sunday November 3, then one last time from November 9 to 11 for its traditional end-of-season highlight. This will be the opportunity to discover one last time each evening the show which combines a captivating soundtrack, magnificent lighting effects and, of course, fireworks each evening. An “Imageen” tale which will give way next year to a new concept according to the management of the park. Previously, a rock concert, “Rocktober Fest” (the theme of Nigloween this year) with covers of rock legends will make you dance and move in the heart of the park decorated with its cucurbits, monsters and other cobwebs … Without forgetting 4 performances each afternoon of the “Maléfique” show: dancers, acrobats, illusionists and other performers will amaze you or make you shiver. Remember to check the booking trends for entry tickets on nigloland.fr to avoid busy days.
