Since 1991, Festival "La Route du Rock" is indissociable
from Saint Malo image. Having begun in the city, it since 1994,
settled in the walls of the Fort of St Père. Coming from
all the areas of France and Europe, thousands of people converge
for a week end to discover artists of music but also a whole area,
some using for the occasion the infrastructures of the region
of Saint Malo (hotels, camp-sites, trade, transports...). the
bringing together of the festival with Saint Malo, engaged in
2002 (the Beach) and continued in 2003 (the Palais du Grand
Large), arrives at the same moment as the decision of the
municipality to gradually reduce its subsidy until suppression
of this one, which means the programmed death of this festival
in this area. The "Route du Rock" faithful spectators
are attached to the existence of this festival in this unique
place and by this petition can concretize this attachment to hope
to inflect the decisions of the town hall of Saint Malo.
"As
a spectator of the "Route du Rock" Festival, I state
to support the organizers of the festival and request to the town
hall of Saint Malo to reconsider his decision to gradually reduce
his financial assistance to the festival in order to preserve
the existence of this event of music in Saint Malo".
