From November 10 to December 1, 2024, the Carreau du Temple in Paris will host the first edition of the Iconic 80, 90, 00's Festival, an immersive journey through three decades that marked an entire generation.
The event promises a dive into the past through an exhibition of 99 cult objects, silent witnesses of these bygone eras. A big zapping will bring back to life the most memorable television moments, while immersive boxes will offer fun experiences such as blind tests and karaoke.
Retro video game fans will not be left out with an arcade area that will delight memories of the smoky rooms of the 80s and 90s. For those nostalgic for sliding, a 400 m² track will be dedicated to quad rollers, these four-wheeled skates emblematic of the disco years. To rent 5 euros / session.
