The 129th Nice carnival with the theme "King of the 5 continents" and the guest of honor Francophonie runs from 15 February to 6 March. An explosive program: 18 tanks accompanied by over 1,000 musicians and dancers from all over the world. Note that the giant, colorful parades take place day and night.

The sets created by artists offer Nice Place Masséna and Promenade des Anglais, a magical atmosphere. Do not miss the elegant flower parades, where mannequins with extravagant costumes throw flowers to the public from tanks decorated with beautiful floral arrangements.
