Weekend Events on 25th and 26th October 2025 in Cannes

Cannes, a Weekend of Art, Music and Tradition

Cannes is more than red carpets and international cinema. Behind its glamorous façade lies a city rich in art, music, traditions, and fine living. The weekend of 25–26 October 2025 promises to be one of the liveliest of the season, offering residents and visitors a vibrant mix of performances, exhibitions, and authentic local experiences.

Friday, 24 October – A Magical Start Under the Big Top

The weekend kicks off with the final performances of the Cirque d’Angelo, running until 24 October at Parking Coubertin in La Bocca. With acrobatics, lights, and wonder, this show delights audiences of all ages and sets a festive tone for the days ahead.

Saturday, 25 October – Wellness, Music and Solidarity

Saturday begins with energy and purpose at the Lucia Cannes Run Club x Pink October, a symbolic run along the Croisette supporting breast cancer awareness.

Those seeking a gentler start can visit the Wellness and Clairvoyance Fair “Entre Ciel et Terre” at Igesa Défense Nationale Destremau, open all weekend. Visitors can attend conferences, wellness workshops, and holistic sessions. In the evening, the same venue will host a hypnosis show, blending fascination and introspection.

Later in the afternoon, the Théâtre Palais Stéphanie at the JW Marriott welcomes Kery James – R(Résistance)A(Amour)P(Poésie), an engaging concert blending poetry, rhythm, and social reflection.

For those drawn to alternative sounds, the night continues at 23 avenue Docteur Picaud with the Final Show “Common Enemies / Self Serving / Spleen” — three live acts delivering raw, experimental energy.

Sunday, 26 October – Sport and Theatre to End in Style

Sunday morning brings community spirit with the Course Odysséa, a charity run along the Boulevard du Midi – Louise Moreau that fills the city with colour and solidarity.

In the afternoon, the Théâtre Palais Stéphanie hosts RING (Variations du couple), a witty and touching exploration of modern relationships — a perfect cultural finale to the weekend.

An Artistic Itinerary Between Sea and Light

Throughout the weekend — and beyond — Cannes offers a journey through art and beauty:

• At the Musée du Masque de Fer et du Fort Royal, “The Origins of Cannes – Fishing and Other Treasures of the Sea” (until 26 April 2026) explores the city’s deep bond with the Mediterranean.

• At the Suquet des Artistes, “The Last Dance” by Corine Borgnet (until 4 January 2026) reflects poetically on the body and the passage of time.

• The Musée des Explorations du Monde presents “L’art de faire mouche!” (until 2 November 2025), a fascinating journey through African archaeology and rituals.

• And at the Villa Malmaison, Jean-Michel Othoniel’s luminous installation “Poussière d’étoiles” (until 6 January 2026) transforms glass and light into a marine symphony.

The Markets: Everyday Life in Cannes

To experience Cannes like a local, stroll through its lively markets. The Marché de La Bocca offers a friendly, authentic atmosphere, while the Marché Gambetta delights the senses with the scents and colours of Provençal produce. Both are open daily except Monday and remain the heart of local life.

A City of a Thousand Shades

Between concerts, exhibitions, sport, and tradition, Cannes reveals a vibrant, multifaceted identity — far beyond the glamour of film. Spending a weekend here means embracing a city that lives through art, sea, and conviviality — radiant, surprising, and unforgettable.
