Event Details
Welcome to Les Étoiles de Mougins in the Hilltop Village of Mougins
In the picturesque old town of Mougins, perched above Cannes, the narrow streets and squares normally turn into an open air stage for culinary arts over one weekend in September. Les Étoiles de Mougins is one of the largest gastronomy festivals on the French Riviera, bringing international star chefs to the village where Pablo Picasso once lived since 2006. The event now runs every two years.

Current Status: No 2026 Edition
The festival's official website confirms there will be no edition in 2026. A date for a future edition has not been announced. In previous active years, the festival traditionally took place over one weekend in September, running Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm, with free access to the village and most stands and cooking shows.
Tickets and Admission (From Previous Editions)
Access to the festival grounds was always free. Only certain cooking classes with tasting and a few children's workshops were ticketed. Should a new edition be announced, pricing and program details would be published on the official website.
