It's one of the most eagerly awaited events in Paris this autumn! The Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre returns from Wednesday, October 9 to Sunday, October 13, 2024, throughout the capital's 18th arrondissement.
This year's theme is the imaginary, and the new 91st edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre promises to be a delightful experience. Those who are used to this festive and convivial event can rest assured that this 2024 edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre will revive a number of traditions, including the famous grand parade, the gourmet taste trail and the unusual ceremony of non-proposals.
For the curious, here are 5 not-to-be-missed events to experience from October 9 to 13 during Montmartre's new Fête des Vendanges.
Come and celebrate the new edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre with music! The Decibels Vendanges festival returns from October 9 to 12 at three venues in Paris's 18th arrondissement. This year, head to Hasard Ludique, Be-Jazzy and ADN Montmartre to discover songs by Vanessee Vulcane, Daysy, Chéri, Yasmin Pigeon, Tianmi and Ella Lewis. And since these concerts are free, you'd be wrong to miss out.
Food lovers beware! While wine takes center stage at the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre, so does gastronomy. On October 11, 12 and 13, 2024, the Parcours du Goût (Taste Trail) takes up residence at the foot of the Sacré-Cœur. For three days, this village of flavors will tantalize your taste buds with the presence of some one hundred producers from France and abroad. It's an opportunity to discover their know-how and the quality of their local produce.
The Parcours du Goût (free access) can be found around the Sacré-Coeur, at rue Azaïs, rue Saint-Eleuthère, rue Cardinal Guibert, and on the Parvis du Sacré-Coeur.
Another not-to-be-missed event every year is the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre. Just imagine: more than a hundred wine brotherhoods from France and abroad marching through the streets of Montmartre. This is the convivial and unusual concept of this great parade, to be discovered this year on October 12 from 11.45 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. So, would you like to admire this joyful and popular spectacle? For those interested, note that the procession will set off from Les Vignes du Clos Montmartre towards the Mairie du 18e.
The 2024 edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre once again honors this unusual event! The ceremony of non-proposals will take place on Place des Abbesses on October 13 at 10:30 am. The concept? The mayor of the 18th arrondissement, Éric Lejoindre, lends himself to the game of non-marriages, and engages for eternity some twenty couples who say no to each other!
What would a festive, popular event be without its closing ball? Not much. That's why the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre invites you to the Square Louise Michel on October 13 from 4.30pm for this"Rêve Party", hosted again this year by DJ Thierry Lecamp.
