“This was a spectacular event. I was lucky to take part in all 3 stages. It really brought people of all types together creating a truly joyous atmosphere. It was magical how the building rose- so clever in its design. Side by side you could hardly tell the two buildings apart by Sunday morning. I felt honoured that Olivier and his team came to our humble city.”
