Festivals by region

The complete directory of festivals in France

France is one of the countries that hosts the greatest number of festivals in the world. Every year, thousands of cultural events punctuate the entire territory, from major international stages to the most authentic village celebrations. Music, cinema, theatre, dance, literature, gastronomy, street art, circus festivals… whatever your passion, there is a festival for you, in every season and every region.

Our festival directory was designed to help you find a festival easily, wherever you are in France. Whether you are looking for an outdoor rock festival, an intimate jazz festival in the heart of a village, an electronic music festival on the coast or a family-friendly festival in the mountains, you will find here all the information you need: dates, venue, prices, programme and festival-goer reviews.

Complete festival directory

Browse by region or department to discover festivals near you. Each listing is enriched with practical details and community reviews.

Each festival listing is enriched over time by our team and community feedback. Ratings and reviews left by visitors help you get an idea before booking your tickets or hitting the road. You can also add your favourite festivals in one click to easily find them from your personal list and never miss a date.

Our festival list covers the entire French territory: from Brittany to the French Riviera, from Alsace to the Pyrenees, through Île-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Each region has its own cultural gems, from internationally renowned events to lesser-known local festivals just waiting to be discovered.

Your festival travel companion

We update our database daily to ensure reliable information on every listed event.

Find a festival near you

The interactive festival map allows you to spot events near your location at a glance. You can also filter festivals by region, department, type (music, theatre, cinema, gastronomy…) or by time of year. Summer festivals remain the most numerous, but the festival season now extends throughout the year: winter festivals in ski resorts, spring gatherings in parks and gardens, autumn events around wine, literature or cinema. Whatever the month, there is always a festival to discover.

All festival genres in one place

Our festival repertoire goes well beyond music. We list performing arts festivals (street theatre, contemporary circus, dance, puppetry), film festivals (short films, documentaries, animation), food festivals (wine, local produce, world cuisine), literary festivals, comic book festivals, digital and tech festivals, and many more.

More than a directory, a community of festival-goers

Our goal goes well beyond a simple list of festivals in France. We are building a true space dedicated to festival enthusiasts, with news, practical guides and first-hand experiences. Because experiencing a festival is much more than attending a show: it is discovering a place, sharing a moment, meeting people and creating unforgettable memories.
