Cowboys, superheroes and other characters, 30 000 participants come together every year for the Caen carnival!

The biggest student carnival in Europe!

This festive parade traditionally starts from the University of Caen, then crosses the historic center of Caen. Every year, a concert by local and international artists awaits carnival-goers at the end of the parade. After amusing passers-by with their disguises, the students deserve to party until the end of the night!

Keep an eye out for carnival news so as not to miss THE festive spring event!
