A unique event in Marseille

The festival site is divided into “villages” grouping together different sectors of activity: arts village, health village, sea village, start-up village, etc., to make it easier for participants to get together in the workshops of their choice.

The Delta Festival offers a diversified program featuring national and international artists of electronic music, hip-hop, reggae and other musical genres. Spectators can enjoy several stages and spaces dedicated to concerts, DJ sets and artistic performances.

As far as water sports are concerned, the Delta Festival offers competitions and demonstrations such as paddle, kayak, waterpolo and boating. Professional and amateur athletes come together to demonstrate their skills and put on impressive shows. There’s even a swimming area with supervised activities.

The festival also offers a variety of cultural activities, including urban art exhibitions, relaxation zones and creative workshops for all tastes and styles. The organization places great emphasis on preserving the environment at the festival and encourages responsible behavior. Logistical transport on site is carried out by “Toutenvélo” on cargo bikes, and the Delta encourages its festival-goers to use collaborative transport.

A truly committed festival, the Delta Festival offers workshops dedicated to the environment, to help you discover greener solutions for your everyday life.

Over 30 food trucks and even a fresh fruit market will be on hand to serve you during the event.
