Trade shows and festivals
a shared historyThe very many BtoB professional events held in Cannes have shaped the history of le Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. The common destiny of these events and of the structure that hosts them, pushes everyone to listen to each other, to renew and adapt. In short, to trust each other in order to move forward.
Eras pass, conventions remain. Better still, they evolve. Many salons and festivals have become emblematic of this very close collaboration between organizers and le Palais.

Cultural events
aboundLe Palais des Festivals et des Congrès and the City of Cannes also offer prestigious events open to all (not just professionals) such as the NRJ Music Awards. The in-house aim is to give the general public access to the mythical spaces of the famous building to attend concerts, discover exceptional choreography, a circus show or various artistic animations.
Le Palais and the city don’t just invite headliners or up-and-coming talents to the stage. They also create events that have become part of the Côte d’Azur’s cultural heritage over the years. These include the Festival international des Jeux, the Festival d’Art Pyrotechnique, the Festival de Danse or the joyously pop and colorful CannesSeries festival.

Outside the walls
du PalaisEvents at the City of Cannes and le Palais des Festivals et des Congrès know how to open up beyond the house walls. They love to look elsewhere!
Cannes has multiple atouts to host events. Les Plages Électroniques, for example, plunges its feet into the Mediterranean. The esplanade du Palais and its outdoor terrasse, as well as the Gare Maritime, several of the town’s districts and the splendid Lérins Islands, provide ideal backdrops.
At Cannes, anything is possible. There’s only one (tiny) limit: the sea and the mountains!
