The Unmissable Festival on the Arcachon Bay
For 14 years, the oyster port of Andernos-les-Bains has transformed into a giant village festival on the first weekend of December. This year, the must-attend event of the Arcachon Bay returns with the same winning formula: a day filled with oysters, tapas, music, white wine, and pétanque by the water. Over 20,000 people gather each year to enjoy a hedonistic day celebrating our culinary heritage and its talented artisans.
In the spirit of great traditional festivals of the Southwest
The secret to this success? Organize a grand oyster festival in the 45 huts of the oyster port, add a Bordeaux white wine, the Entre deux Mers, excellent chefs to whip up tapas made exclusively with seafood, and local artists! No fewer than 500 participants, including oyster farmers, winemakers, restaurateurs, artists, and volunteers, are mobilized by the city for Cabanes en Fête.

A Spectacular Fireworks Show to Finish in Style
Every year, this event is packed with electrifying activities. Bands, orchestras, concerts, exhibitions of local painters and photographers, tastings fill the day, which wraps up under the stars with a magnificent fireworks display! And let's not forget the talented chefs - some even with Michelin stars - who whip up unique oyster-based recipes. It’s a true culinary show waiting under the big top, presented by
Pierre Rapiau, the host and presenter, and Joël Latour, a personal chef! The tasting of these delightful creations is offered to the public.
Mandatory Pass Required for Access
Access to tastings in the huts is only with the 2024 pass priced at 11€. It comes with a neck pouch, featuring a festive tasting glass, an oyster and tapas fork, a ticket for 3 number 3 oysters, and a glass of Entre-deux-Mers wine—your precious ticket to indulge yourself in each hut as you please! The pass is available online and at the Tourism Office counter.
