The Avignon Festival is held every year and is a major highlight of the local calendar. It began way back in nineteen forty seven and includes various forms of theatre and dance as well as films and music.

Crowds come in their droves to the event with on average over one hundred thousand people attending every year. The festival activities can be split in two with the more conservative entertainment taking place inside the Palace of the Popes and more freestyle events taking place around other parts of Avignon.
