There's something going on in Deauville all year round! One event follows another, making Deauville one of the liveliest towns in Normandy. Among the annual offer, we suggest:
👉 To celebrate the New Year, the 1 January swim takes place on Deauville beach. A word to the wise! The temperature in the Channel rarely exceeds 8°C at this time of year!
👉 Deauville celebrates horses all year round, with dressage competitions and show jumping. Head for the Pôle International du Cheval, where most of the competitions take place.
👉 Books & Music Festival in April-May. This event celebrates the influence of music on literature. Exhibitions, meetings and concerts are on the programme. The Livres & Musiques festival and its exhibitions are fully accessible to people with reduced mobility.
👉 International Polo Championship, another horse-related event. Held every August on the Touques racecourse. In addition, horse races are held at the town's two racecourses throughout the summer.
👉 The American Film Festival: a must in the Deauville calendar. The town is even more jet-set! The stars roam the stages and the entertainment is in full swing. Early September every year.
In addition to these events, Deauville has a varied cultural calendar for a town of its size. Artists, singers, actors and comedians come to perform in the town throughout the year.
