Avignon, land of culture(s) 2025

There’s an exceptional cultural season in store for Avignon in 2025: a whole programme of popular and artistic festivities and events for everyone to celebrate Avignon’s 25th anniversary as European Capital of Culture!”

Avignon, land of culture 2025

With Avignon, Terre de cultures 2025, the City is signing Act 2 of a strong cultural ambition for Avignon by adopting an ambitious action plan, mobilising all of the area’s cultural players.

“Avignon, Terre de culture 2025, will be four years of creativity, experimentation, initiatives and excitement for and with artists and residents: in our schools, our neighbourhoods, our libraries, our heritage sites, in the street, in homes, all forms of artistic expression will be invited at all times, within everyone’s reach! To keep this energy going, which will be gradually built up until 2025, the climax of the project, new venues will open up, making culture a lasting part of the city’s urban narrative.”

Cécile Helle,
Mayor of Avignon
