The Nice Carnival, France’s first international carnival, is the most important winter event on the Côte d’Azur.
February 15 to March 02, 2025
Two weeks of festivities enliven the city of Nice – “Carnival Corsi” by day and night, and elegant “Flower Battles” are on the program for this not-to-be-missed event. Numerous floats decorated and animated with the theme of the season parade to the rhythm of street art troupes and musical groups from all over the world, all in a colorful, festive and family-friendly atmosphere.
