Nice Carnival 2026 edition

The program for the 2026 Nice Carnival has been unveiled!

In recent years, the Nice Carnival has continued to break attendance records. During its latest edition, themed around the oceans, nearly 400,000 spectators took part in the festivities across the city of Nice and its metropolitan area. This latest magical edition heralds a new and historic one: after decades of male domination, the time has come to celebrate femininity with an ambitious and symbolic theme: “Long live the Queen!”

From February 11 to March 1, 2026 Nice will vibrate to the rhythm of this carnival metamorphosis, rich in powerful messages and paying tribute to the great heroines of history and fiction, the great female figures who have shaped the world.
