Cannes Under the Stars: the Nocturnes Cannoises return

Cannes lights up its warm summer nights with the return of the Nocturnes Cannoises, the evening markets that, until 28 August, transform the city into a lively open-air lounge. Organised by the City of Cannes in collaboration with ABECCO, these free events offer residents and visitors the chance to stroll among the stalls under soft lights, enjoying the scents and sounds of the Mediterranean summer.

The calendar features three evenings every week, from 7 p.m. to midnight: on Tuesdays at the Esplanade Pantiero (except on 26 August), on Wednesdays in the picturesque La Bocca market square, and on Thursdays along Boulevard Jean Hibert, just steps from the sea.

Local craftsmanship takes centre stage: jewellery, handbags, fashion accessories, art and design objects, scented soaps, candles, essential oils and unique clothing pieces. For food lovers, the walk becomes a flavourful journey, with tempting treats from sweet to savoury: crisp churros, freshly made crêpes, gaufres, colourful candies and more.

The Nocturnes Cannoises have become a summer tradition on the French Riviera: an invitation to discover the city’s most authentic and welcoming side, where craftsmanship, gastronomy and the magic of Mediterranean nights meet under the stars.
