An exceptional cultural season is in store for Avignon in 2025, with a full program of popular and artistic festivities and events to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Avignon 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, with an ambitious action plan that mobilizes all the region’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 neighborhoods, 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 the climax in 2025, new venues will open up, making culture a lasting part of the city’s urban narrative.”

Cécile Helle,
Mayor of Avignon
