The Nice Carnival 2026, one of the most emblematic events on the French Riviera, will take place from February 11 to March 1, 2026, under the theme “Long Live the Queen”, a colorful celebration dedicated to femininity and to great heroines, whether from fiction or from history. For almost three weeks, the streets of Nice will turn into a huge open-air stage with spectacular parades, flower battles, illuminated night corsos, and many activities accessible to all. Among the highlights are the Grand Charivari, the opening of the Carnival Village, the Bal du Veglione at the Nice Opera, and the festive night parades that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year from France and abroad. It is the perfect opportunity to discover Nice in winter, in a friendly, creative atmosphere deeply rooted in tradition.
