Events calendar Calvados

Each year, the Salon des livres organized by the city of Caen provides an opportunity to meet about a hundred authors. Each year, Epoch offers readings, signings, workshops and conferences. The event knows how to bring together all audiences, from fans of detective novels to comic books. The youngest are not forgotten with a space for children. The festival, which claims to want to be one of the fairs that enlighten our time, should once again fulfill its promise this year.

Thirty years old in 2018, the Sable Show festival has established itself in the Villers-based landscape as much for its longevity as for its demanding but mainstream programming choices. The spectators participate in this programming! Every year, Sable Show offers to vote for their two favorite concerts. The elected representatives are invited back the following year.

The adventure of the Solo Festival "Tout Seul Devant Tout le Monde" begins in 2011. The principle is simple: only one artist on stage! Every year, in the garden of the mill in Blangy-le-Château, the public gathers to share the emotions, anecdotes and first times of the artist who performs with an open heart, but also moments of music and dance, for a weekend of creation and exchanges. One of the main qualities of this festival is undoubtedly the simplicity and family spirit that reign there.

Following the success of the first edition of the Chope ta Mousse Festival in 2019, a second vintage is already in preparation for 2020! This traditional beer festival is a good example of the growth of microbreweries at both the national and local levels. On the programme, two days of meetings to discover the traditional brewing and tastings, in a friendly and festive atmosphere. All to your mugs!

The association Les Normandiques invites you to participate in the eighth edition of La Normandique, a great Nordic walk on the Côte Fleurie, between Deauville and Villers-sur-Mer. In 2022, this event gathered more than 600 participants around the champion and ambassador of the discipline, Arja Jalkanen-Meyer. Do not hesitate to register for a day combining sport, health, good mood and well-being!

The stand-up paddle competition, open to beginners and advanced alike, is fast becoming a not-to-be-missed event in the region. Just look at the growing popularity of this water sport every year. The program includes three events. The first, for the general public, on the Caen Canal. A second, more technical, at Trouville-sur-Mer (village on the beach!). And finally, on the Pont-l'Evêque lake, there are numerous courses and activities for all. It's a great opportunity to discover and practice this unifying sport, and to be the king of sliding!
