The Nice Beer Festival returns this May for its fifth edition, taking over Le 109 with a packed and lively programme – on both sides of the bar!

Organised by the Association des brasseries Azuréennes et Maralpines, the festival was founded to champion quality, foster community, and encourage collaboration among the region’s independent brewers.

Since its launch, the event has built steady momentum, growing in both scale and reputation. Each edition brings an ever-expanding roster of brewers and an increasingly diverse range of beers, reflecting the dynamism of the local craft scene.

What’s On Offer at the 2026 Edition

Beers & Breweries

40 local craft beers
10 local breweries, including the likes of La Mentounasc Brassarìa Artisanala, À La Fût, Brasserie du Comté and Blue Coast Brasserie Artisinale

Fear not, your taste buds will be in for a treat too, with no fewer than 10 food trucks on site to delight all the foodies! Whether you prefer street food or local traditional fare, there will be something to suit all palates out there!

On the menu:
