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 Germany, Italy, Austria, France, Sweden and USA. This year there will be five barges in the bay - four last year - from which the fireworks take off. 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. If you bag a spot to watch out of earshot you can listen to the music on Cannes Radio.
You can also view the fireworks from a boat which leaves Quai Laubeuf at 9.15pm. Essential to book 04 92 98 71 30 or at Quai Laubeuf.
