Festivals and cultural events Dijon

It's the kind of event you like to stumble across on the streets of Dijon. Every year, for a weekend in June, the Rhineland-Palatinate House blocks off the Rue Buffon for a giant open-air festival. For this ^26th edition, fans of German beers and delicatessen delicacies from across the Rhine will be catered for with dedicated stands. The Franco-German center also offers visitors the chance to discover German wine and pastries. A variety of musical groups and entertainment for young and old alike will ensure a good time!

Every year, Dijon's museums dress up for the European Night of Museums, which celebrates its 20th anniversary. In addition to the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the cloister of the Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne and the chapel of the Musée d'Art Sacré will host readings, participatory workshops, jazz concerts and flash tours. In the evening, free of charge, it's the perfect time to discover shows and cultural activities in the sublime settings of the municipal museums.

The leading Italian festival in Dijon is Italiart, Italy in Dijon. With sixteen editions to its credit and its 17th in 2023, it has no intention of stopping there. Throughout the month of March, to celebrate the arrival of spring, a window opens on Italy through art in general. On the program: theater, concerts, dance, circus, exhibitions, visual arts and, of course, gastronomy! Tip: most of the events on the program are free, so make the most of it.

For its 15th edition, the Crocmillivre fair, organized by the Grangier and Autrement Dit bookstores, offers you a festive and family weekend around children's books and the promise of a privileged moment with about thirty authors. On the program, meetings, colorful signings, animations and creative workshops open to all: silk-screening, story readings, writing workshops or drawing contest. A joyful celebration of the vitality of children's books for the whole family and a chance to awaken children from 1 to 14 years old to the world of reading.
