The night owls of the Phocaean City eagerly await it every year like it's the Messiah: the Delta Festival is the must-see event to enjoy summer with your feet in the water on the Marseille beaches of Prado. It's happening again in 2026: for its 12th edition, the biggest festival in southern France is keeping the fun alive in a very special ambiance, carnival style like in Rio. Get ready for feathers and sequins, as samba will set the rhythm for these four days of celebration, from July 23 to 26!
Brazil makes the heart of Delta beat
This is an edition that Marseille won't forget anytime soon. No need to catch the next flight to Brazil, this summer, Brazil is coming to us, on the Prado beaches. To make this happen, the festival is inviting top musical talents, from the Brazilian funk prodigy MC Menor JP to the eclectic artist Bianca Costa and the iconic singer with unifying anthems, Salome de Bahia. In total, there will be 17 Brazilian artists joining the fun!
Exciting artists ready to set the 360 stage ablaze, in a Sunset Rio format, every night from 8 PM to 10 PM. The idea? To bring all the vibrant energy of Brazil to the beach at sunset, filled with percussion, voices, dancing, warmth, an audience swaying, and the endless sea beyond. Yes, it promises to be absolutely amazing!Voir cette publication sur Instagram
Beyond music, the Delta promises us a true cultural tour of the country, especially with its Brazil Village, a space for meeting, discovery, and sharing. Here, a dozen organizations bring Brazilian culture to life in all its forms, blending music, dance, sports, language, cinema, and social-ecological issues. It's a vibrant immersion, highlighted each day by a grand Brazilian parade, filled with percussion and traditional costumes, that sweeps through the festival, raising the excitement. The highlight? A spectacular festival finale on Sunday, featuring a stage entirely dedicated to Brazil all day and an XXL parade with over 100 participants!
