St. Nicolas Day

In Nancy, St. Nicolas Day is a popular traditional feast day marked by live entertainment. People will go out and gather at Place Stanislas to see the Fireworks exhibition for about 30 minutes. The fireworks will start at 7 PM but if you want to get inside, you need to be hurry. Because it will be very crowded there. My friends and I reached there at about 6:30 and unfortunately we were too late to get inside. The guard already close the fence, so we can't enter it. As the result we enjoy the firework from quite a distance outside Place Stanislas. 

FYI St Nicolas is the protector of the weak and oppressed, as well as the patron saint of lawyers, seamen and school children. More about St. Nicolas Day in Nancy can be found here and here.
