Divers/Cité is a GLBT event whose mission is to present a pluridisciplinary arts festival that illustrates and celebrates the value of diversity in a spirit of sharing, solidarity and openness with the world. Fifteen years of constant growth and expansion has established Divers/Cité as an internationally recognized festival.
Most of the programming is outdoor and free. Our programming also follows set themes that cover a wide range of artistic tendencies that address widely varying audiences. The event proudly showcases Modern dance, Blues, Jazz, Pop, Latin, Rock, World, Funk, Ambient, Techno and Electronic concerts, Drag queen performances, an outdoor cinema and a photo exhibition.
