Cannes,
events all year round

After retaining its European title for the second year running, Cannes has just been voted by its peers, the professional media and all Cannes lovers, “Best World Festival and Event Destination” at the World Travel Awards 2022, considered to be the Oscars of Tourism.

It is the first French city to win this award against twelve other international cities in competition, namely Barcelona, London, Barranquilla, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Singapore, Santiago, Sydney, Cape Town, Da Nang City and Durban. This prestigious recognition confirms Cannes’ essential role as a leading destination for the world’s event industry.

Cannes is undoubtedly an expert in the organisation of events! We know about the Cannes Film Festival, which has been attracting film lovers from all over the world for almost 80 years, but it is not the only renowned event that takes place here. Let’s discover the events that punctuate the daily life of the people of Cannes throughout the year.

 

The whole agenda

Culture in the spotlight

Throughout the seasons, the Palais des Festivals hosts high quality cultural events, including the Cannes Film Festival. A precious opportunity to discover all the professions of the cinema through training courses and initiation workshops. Another highlight for an art form that fascinates just as much: Big Perf Cannes, the festival that celebrates humour.

As for musical ears, they are not left out with les Plages Électroniques which every summer sets the seaside ablaze with the sound of electro music.
