Fireworks Festival Cannes
All start at 10pm. One of the best places to see the fireworks and hear the music, is near the JW Marriott hotel, on the Croisette. This year the countries in competition are Canada, France, Britain, Austria and the Philippines. Italy will present the final event when the winners are announced.
If you want to avoid a cricked neck you can hire sunbeds on the beach and lie back to enjoy the view. All the hotels and beach restaurants are open for dinner - do make a reservation in advance though.
You can view the fireworks from a boat, leaving at 9.15pm. Must book 04 92 98 71 30 or at Quai Laubeuf

CANNES BOAT SHOW
September
Cannes Old Port
Largest in-water boat show in Europe. There are more than 550 boats on show with 500+ in the water so you can sail before you buy that dream yacht or boat.
At the old port there are seven colour coded areas to make locating that multi hull, day boat, fishing boat or luxury super yacht easy. There are also secondhand boats for sale, as well as new boats making their world premiers at Cannes. There is an Equipment village offering services and equipment and there is a shopping village in the Palais.
Shuttle boats take you between the old port and Port Canto where the world's top brokerage and charter companies are located. All this for just 15 euros entry fee.
