Vive la France! The state capital will once again celebrate the French bank holidays in honour of our neighbouring country in 2026: the Düsseldorf France Festival is the largest of its kind in Germany and attracts around 100,000 Francophile visitors to the city.
Three days in Bleu, Blanc and Rouge, three days in which French flair on the Rhine can be experienced at first hand: "La grande fête française", the Düsseldorf France Festival, has been held regularly once a year since 2001 and is characterised by culinary, Francophile delicacies and an extremely colourful cultural programme.
Astonished spectators, admiring glances and lots of shop talk - parallel to the France Festival, Burgplatz will once again be filled with around 150 French classic cars this year, which will once again set off from there on the traditional "Tour de Düsseldorf" rally through Düsseldorf and the surrounding communities. And once again this year, the inner courtyard of Düsseldorf Town Hall will not only be a wonderful place to feast, but also to experience a varied music programme with well-known French acts. Here's to an attitude to life à la française.
The Düsseldorf France Festival is organised and hosted by Destination Düsseldorf (DD) alongside numerous other events. Destination Düsseldorf's activities are characterised by its commitment to location marketing and the interests of small and medium-sized businesses in Düsseldorf - in close cooperation with the city. It is involved in cultural, sporting and tourism topics as well as in economic policy issues. (Source: Destination Düsseldorf / Visit Düsseldorf)
