This autumn, the 18th arrondissement of Paris will once again resume the rhythm of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre. The 93rd edition of this festival awaits you from Wednesday, 7 to Sunday, 11 October 2026, with a new program packed with a variety of animations and activities.
This year, the Fête des Vendanges celebrates music, that universal language that unites, moves and forges connections. "In 2026, the Montmartre Fête des Vendanges will spotlight this music that crosses generations, cultures and borders. Whether it’s sung, played, danced or simply shared, it brings together locals, visitors, the curious and the passionate around a single emotion," the organizers explain on the website.
Since 1934, the Clos Montmartre wine festival has been celebrated in October for five joyous days of popular festivities, with a focus on taste and gastronomy! The third-busiest Parisian event after Nuit Blanche and Paris Plages, 500,000 visitors are once again expected to take to the streets of the Butte. Exhibitions, live shows, music, parades, dances, tastings of local and artisanal products and a wide range of other activities are all on offer to delight young and old, tourists and Parisians alike.
The event is usually sponsored or sponsored by celebrities. These include Camélia Jordana, Sandrine Bonnaire, Nolwenn Leroy, Anaïs, Olivia Ruiz, Firmine Richard, Victoria Abril, Naomi Campbell, Carole Bouquet, Angunn, as well as Mistinguett, who was the first godmother of the Vendanges in 1934.
As every year, the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre will delight Parisians with a diverse, festive lineup: the taste journey, the grand children's choir, vineyard tours, the big parade, and the closing ball. Discover the program for the 93rd edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre!
