Discover all the must-see events in Angers

During these key moments of the year, the region of Angers throbs with life. You’ll find events of all kinds, from the cultural to the sporting, as well as gastronomic and artistic events, all with a festive atmosphere.

All throughout the year, the châteaux and heritage sites of Anjou become the stage for contemporary arts events, outdoor performances, circus shows and more. Angers’ heritage may be a thousand years old, yet it lends itself perfectly to a modern and original programme of events and festivals.
Popular annual events like the Festival d’Anjou, Premiers Plans, Échappées d’Art, Les Accroche-Cœurs and the Biennale des Grands Fleuves du Monde are today local institutions and have long attracted visitors from well beyond the Angers region.
