Cannes International Fireworks Festival 2025

It’s one of the most breathtaking summer events on the Mediterranean coast—and in 2025, it’s ready to amaze once again. The Cannes International Fireworks Festival lights up the Riviera with six unforgettable evenings, combining fireworks, music, and cutting-edge creativity.

📅 From July 4 to August 24, the bay of Cannes becomes an open-air stage where the world’s best pyrotechnic artists compete to win the prestigious Silver Vestal. Each performance is a symphony of sound and light: fireworks launched from barges, reflected on the sea, and set to captivating musical scores.

Founded in 1967 and reinstated as an international competition in 1998, the festival ranks among the top pyromusical events in the world—on par with Montréal’s famous competition. The magic unfolds across 500 meters of seafront, and all shows are free to the public, best viewed from the iconic Croisette.
