Your go-to guide for everything happening outside the Palais has returned, now in its 13th year.
Cannes Lions isn’t just about the official programme. Every June, the Croisette becomes the epicentre of creativity, connection and conversation - much of it happening beyond the Palais. That’s why, for the 13th year running, Propeller Group is proud to launch The Cannes Lions Fringe Events & Parties List.
What started as a simple spreadsheet more than a decade ago has become the original and most comprehensive guide to the week’s fringe activity, from yacht-side panels and rooftop breakfasts to 5km charity runs and late-night gigs. This year’s edition features more than 800 events (and counting), helping thousands across the industry make the most of their time at the festival.

What’s new for 2025?
This year we’ve made some key updates:
- Official partnership listings: For the first time, we’ve worked closely with the Cannes Lions team to clearly highlight official partner experiences that delegates can access with passes.
- The Empower Cafe: Propeller has teamed up with WACL and Cannes Lions to deliver the Empower Cafe - an inclusive, women-led space at the heart of the festival. Expect a programme of inspiring content and conversations, with full details launching later this week.
The list remains a free resource curated by our London and New York teams and we’re pleased it’s become a trusted fixture for so many across the industry.
Hosting an event?
It’s not too late to be included. Head to the Cannes Lions sign up page where you can still submit event details - we’ll continue updating the list right up to the start of the festival.
Supporting the next generation
This year, if you've found the list useful, we're encouraging donations to the Finishing School Foundation - a registered charity offering free programmes and grants to help underrepresented young people break into the creative and media industries. It's an organisation we're proud to support and aligns closely with our desire to see more inclusivity in our industry
Meet the team on the ground
Cannes Lions is always a key date in our calendar. In 2025, we'll have 16 team members from our London and New York offices on the ground, supporting clients with PR, growth marketing and live event deliery. If you'd like to connect during the week, follow us on LinkedIn or get in touch here on our website.
See you on the Croisette.
