The streets are filled with the scents of baked goods, breads, pies and tarts. The sound of waiters bustling through the courtyards at the numeorus small coffee shops and restaurants. In the weeks leading up to the 97th Edition of the WorldVision Song Contest, the town has been spritzed and spruced to the max and the city is a buzz with the excitement of the hosting which will thrust the city onto the world stage.
Indeed, whilst most of population of Beepee is gathered around their television sets, or are tuning in online. Across the city, groups gather together to watch the event, in bars, with friends, or at street parties. Visitors to the city will find a warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere and will no doubt be swept up in the excitement of WorldVision 97, just like the locals.
