Nice has the busiest cultural calendar on the Riviera. Palais Nikaïa, the arena on the western edge of the city, hosts the big touring concerts and shows, while the Opéra de Nice, the Théâtre National de Nice and a string of smaller stages such as the Théâtre Lino Ventura and the Théâtre de la Cité keep up a full programme of plays, stand-up and classical music from autumn to spring.
The highlights of the year are the Carnival in February and the Nice Jazz Festival in July. Below is every upcoming event we list in Nice — the next few first, then all of them by type — each with its date, venue and a link to buy tickets.
