Events in Carcassonne
Proud of the renovation of the Old Fortress, many of Carcassonne’s traditions celebrate the achievement of the city and its people:
Festival de Carcassonne
A celebration of Carcassonne with live acts from all over the European music scene, the Festival de Carcassonne takes places over several days in late July and sees many visitors come to the city. The main acts require you to pay for entry, however there are plenty of acts outside of the festival that are completely free of charge.
Carcassonne Ablaze
The city’s regular celebration of the restoration effort and the battles that made it necessary, Carcassonne Ablaze sees the sky fill with fireworks as live performances keep crowds dancing well into the night.
Feria de Carcassonne
A festival dedicated to the south of France’s connection to Spain, the Feria de Carcassonne is when the city’s residents take to the street, dancing Spanish tangos and salsas. With lots of Spanish foods and music to enjoy, this is a great day out for the kids.
