On December 6th, Andernos-les-Bains will celebrate the 15th edition of Cabanes en Fête, a key event in the season focused on the oysters of the Arcachon Basin and the wines from Entre-deux-Mers. It's a fun annual gathering that attracts over 20,000 visitors to the oyster port each year.
Between land and sea, Cabanes en Fête has become an unmissable event for lovers of local produce, offering a unique celebration of local cuisine.
A delicious marriage of oysters, wines, and friendliness
This 2025 edition will bring together 45 oyster cabins hosted by over 500 participants — oyster farmers, winemakers, restaurateurs, artists, and volunteers. The concept remains unchanged: an authentic atmosphere, music everywhere, exhibitions, brass bands… and continuous tastings.
To enjoy the cabins, visitors will need to get the Cabanes en Fête Pass (€11), available since November 17th. This includes a tasting glass, an oyster fork, a ticket for 3 oysters No. 3 and a glass of Entre-deux-Mers, along with a bag in the event’s colors.
A Colorful Celebration and a Thrilling Lineup
From 10 AM to 8 PM, activities will unfold at the harbor: bandas, sea shanties, brass bands, musicians, exhibitions, demonstrations, and even a rowing pinasse race at 5:15 PM. At 8 PM, a spectacular fireworks display will wrap up the festivities under the stars.
A highlight of the day, the grand culinary show « Chefs on Board! » will take place at 3 PM under the big top. Several local chefs - Maison Nacre, Fleur des Pins, Éric Jolibois, and Jesús Hurtado - will perform live cooking of original oyster recipes, all under the guidance of star chef Thierry Renou. Master sommeliers will suggest perfect pairings.ds subtle hints with the wines of the Entre-deux-Mers.
