Every summer, the bay of Juan-les-Pins and the Fort-Carré beach in Antibes are transformed into open-air stages for one of the most anticipated spectacles on the Côte d'Azur: the Fireworks Festival (Festival Pyromélodique). Musical fireworks, a magical display of lights and sounds, entirely free admission… more than 10,000 people gather each evening to admire this unmissable summer event.
In August 2026, the festival offers 4 fireworks evenings between Juan-les-Pins and Antibes. Here is everything you need to know to make the most of it.
What is the Antibes Juan-les-Pins Fireworks Festival?
The Fireworks Festival (Festival Pyromélodique) is a summer event organised every year in Antibes Juan-les-Pins. It brings together the finest pyrotechnicians for fireworks displays synchronised to music, combining lights, colours and sounds in an exceptional setting facing the Mediterranean.
The show takes place across two iconic locations:
the bay of Juan-les-Pins, with fireworks launched from the sea
the coastal road between La Siesta and Fort-Carré in Antibes, for a spectacular display against the backdrop of the historic ramparts
The event is entirely free and open to everyone, making it one of the most popular summer outings in the region.

The two must-see venues
The Bay of Juan-les-Pins
The Thursday fireworks evenings in August take place in the bay of Juan-les-Pins, offering a spectacular panorama from the beaches and seafront promenades. The fireworks are launched from the sea, creating a magical reflection on the waters of the Mediterranean.
On fireworks evenings, boulevards Charles Guillaumont, Baudoin and Guy de Maupassant become pedestrianised from 4pm until midnight. The crowds are dense and parking spaces are virtually non-existent from late afternoon.
Fort-Carré Beach in Antibes
The evenings of 13 July and 24 August take place on the coastal road between La Siesta and Fort-Carré in Antibes. This venue offers a unique setting, with fireworks lighting up the sky against the backdrop of Antibes' historic ramparts and the iconic Fort-Carré.
How to get to the fireworks stress-free?
On show evenings, traffic comes to a standstill across the entire Antibes – Juan-les-Pins area from early evening. Car parks fill up well before the show begins, and the drive home can take hours after the fireworks.
The simplest and most comfortable solution? Book a taxi in advance and be dropped off directly on site.
The Taxis Officiels Antibes Juan-les-Pins know the area and the traffic constraints during major events inside out. They anticipate disrupted routes and drop you as close as possible to the venue, whether you are in Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, staying at a hotel along the coast, or arriving from Nice Airport.
