Weekend Events on 15th and 16th November 2025 in Cannes

Cannes: A Weekend of Art, Music and Tradition

Between the sea, shows, and flavours: the city’s autumn comes alive with energy

Cannes is not only about cinema and red carpets. Behind its international fame lies an authentic soul made of art, music, tradition, and Mediterranean charm. The weekend of 15 and 16 November 2025 promises to be the perfect opportunity to discover another side of this gem of the French Riviera, where culture, entertainment, and conviviality come together in perfect harmony.

An Art Itinerary Between Sea and Light

Throughout the weekend — and for months to come — Cannes offers a fascinating artistic journey blending history, light, and creativity.

At the Musée du Masque de Fer et du Fort Royal, the exhibition “The Origins of Cannes – Fishing and Other Treasures of the Sea” (until 26 April 2026) explores the city’s deep connection with the Mediterranean.
At the Suquet des Artistes, “The Last Dance” by Corine Borgnet (until 4 January 2026) reflects on the body and the passing of time.
The Musée des Explorations du Monde presents “L’art de faire mouche !” (until 2 November 2025), guiding visitors through African archaeology and rituals.
Finally, at Villa Malmaison, Jean-Michel Othoniel’s luminous poetry shines in “Poussière d’étoiles” (until 6 January 2026), where glass and reflections dance with the light of the sea.

Saturday 15 November 2025: Music, Theatre and Philosophy

Saturday opens with Les Rencontres Littéraires, ending with a philosophical breakfast hosted by Marianne Chaillan, exploring the philosophical power of storytelling.

Les Rencontres de Cannes 2025: a month of culture lighting up the Croisette

Throughout the day and evening, the city comes alive with events for all tastes:

• The Concert for the Adrien Association at Espace Miramar combines music and solidarity.

• The SOIRÉE 100% Bachata – Pizza Lovers & After Party (82 chemin de la Bastide Rouge) turns the night into a Latin celebration.

• Comedy lovers can enjoy Bérengère Krief – Sexe at the Théâtre Palais Stéphanie, JW Marriott, or BÉRENGÈRE / HUMOUR / CANNES at the same venue.

• Remember Virginie Cannes (21 Boulevard de la République) offers a nostalgic, retro evening.

• At the Tennis Cannes Garden (99 av. Maurice Chevalier), Back To The Future 80’-2000’ starts, continuing through Sunday.

Sunday 16 November 2025: Between Theatre and Art

Sunday continues in a cultural spirit with Vincent Dedienne’s “Un lendemain soir de Gala” at the Théâtre de la Licorne, a witty and elegant performance to end the weekend on a high note.

The Minerals & Jewellery Fair and Back To The Future 80’-2000’ continue, filling the city with energy and rhythm.

The Markets: The Beating Heart of Cannes

No visit to Cannes is complete without exploring its historic markets.
At the Marché de La Bocca, the atmosphere is warm and local, while the Marché Gambetta seduces with the colours and scents of Provence. Both are open daily, except Monday, and remain the true heart of everyday life in the city.

A City of a Thousand Shades

Between concerts, exhibitions, theatre, and markets, Cannes reveals its authentic and surprising side, far beyond the glamour of cinema. Spending an autumn weekend here means immersing yourself in a lively, welcoming, and sunlit city — a mosaic of art, sea, and conviviality that enchants at every step.
