The Aurillac Street Theater Festival

‍

The Mirabelle Plum Festival

Over 80,000 visitors are drawn to Metz every year to enjoy the Mirabelle Plum Festival. For about two weeks, the Mirabelle plum is celebrated and promoted as the iconic fruit of the Lorraine region. Numerous activities centered around the plum will be featured, such as dinner shows, concerts, dances, a funfair, fireworks, a parade, and culinary discovery spots. And, of course, we can't forget the election of the Mirabelle Queen. During the same period, the Metz Montgolfiades will take place—a large gathering of hot air balloons held in the heart of the city along the waterfront.

‍

The Berlioz Festival

Come and succumb to the sweet whispers of symphonic and romantic music at the Berlioz Festival. Starting this weekend (August 19th & 20th) and continuing for about two weeks, nearly 50 events are scheduled featuring over 1,000 artists in stunning locations, such as the courtyard of the Château Louis XI.

‍

The Saint-Louis Festival

For 6 to 7 days, discover one of Sète's age-old traditions: the Saint-Louis Festival. Competition and conviviality take center stage. Every year since the port's inauguration in 1666, numerous competitions have taken place, starting with a jousting tournament along the Royal Canal, followed by other events like the Sète cross-channel swim. You'll find fireworks, shows, bars, and entertainment—a moment to share with family or friends.
