Cherry-picking the very best celebrations from the cultures of Italy, Spain and France, Nimes has a diverse schedule of festivals. If you want to enjoy some of the unique culture of Nimes we have a few events to recommend:
Nimes Festival
Featuring some of the most famous artists in the world, including Muse, David Bowie and Depeche Mode in recent years, the Nimes Festival is a great alternative to the many pricey festivals of the UK. There’s plenty of nearby campsites as well for those who want a true festival experience.
The Great Roman Games
Held in May every year, The Great Roman Games see the amphitheatre of Nimes resurrected as the stands are packed once again and the sandy arena is filled with displays reconstructing classic Roman bouts. It’s a fantastic experience for the whole family and well-worth your time if you’re a fan of ancient history.
