The Fête des Vendanges returns for its 90th edition from October 11 to 15, 2023: a chance to discover the winegrowing heritage of the Butte Montmartre by celebrating the year's grape harvest at one of Paris's most popular festivals!
Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre 2023: parade, concerts, ball... here's the program
This year, Montmartre's not-to-be-missed Fête des Vendanges returns to the heights of the hilltop from Wednesday, October 11 to Sunday, October 15, 2023, with a program as enticing as ever, including a taste trail, a grand parade, Decibels Vendanges concerts, a closing ball and tours of the famous vineyards.

The Fête des Vendanges program is packed with events, including a visit to the Clos de Montmartre vineyards, numerous parties, concerts, a race, shows and guided tours of the district... Among the highlights, don't miss the traditional grand parade, the popular dances, the ceremony of non-marriage proposals or the symobilique ban des vendanges.
With the kids, it's a great opportunity to discover the history of the hilltop of Montmartre, a former vine-growing area, and to enjoy the many parades and ceremonies organized, as well as the entertainment for the little ones, designed especially for them! The atmosphere is particularly festive at the end of the day and in the evening, but for the rest of the day, the Fête des Vendanges is a relatively family-friendly event, and we strongly recommend a visit, if only to see the Clos de Montmartre, which can only be visited on this occasion!
