A festive summer
Marseille is undeniably a land of festivals, and we’re delighted! At the Delta Festival alone, from August 23 to 27, some 150,000 people are expected to dance to the sounds of Damso, Alonzo, Angèle, Ofenbach, Feder and Synapson.
And that’s not all, of course. For those who prefer jazz, the Festival Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents will enchant you with magical evenings that will also allow you to (re)discover emblematic spots, from the Mucem to the Palais Longchamp, via the Vieille Charité.
More of a cinema fan? With Ciné Plein Air, from June 28 to September 22, you can enjoy films shown free of charge on giant screens all over Marseille. A great opportunity to revisit the classics while enjoying the fresh air of nightfall!
Start thinking Olympics
With France set to host the 2024 Olympic Games, the country is gearing up to immerse itself in sport for several weeks, and Marseille is not to be outdone – for 12 days it will be hosting the sailing competitions (from July 28 to August 8, 2024). The Cité Phocéenne will even have a privileged foretaste as it hosts the “Test Event” from July 9 to July 16, 2023, a full-scale rehearsal that brings together several hundred athletes who come to familiarize themselves with the race zones.
