D-Day Festival: highlights

Normandy celebrates


The D-Day Festival has been held every year in Normandy since 2007. This major event commemorates the Normandy landings of 6 June 1944 during the Second World War. Historic sites such as the landing beaches, military museums and monuments are at the heart of the festival's activities.


Commemorative ceremonies


Attend the official ceremonies organised to pay tribute to the soldiers and veterans who took part in the Normandy landings. These ceremonies generally take place at the historic sites of the landing beaches and military cemeteries.


Historical re-enactments


For a few hours, historical re-enactment groups recreate scenes from the Second World War. You can admire
  • Battles
  • Military encampments
  • Equipment and vehicle demonstrations 

Military exhibitions


Throughout the D-Day Festival, discover exhibitions featuring artefacts, uniforms, weapons and other objects related to this war. These exhibitions can take place in museums, interpretation centres or public spaces.


Parades in Caen


Stop for a moment to see for yourself the historic military vehicles parading past. Veterans and re-enactment groups will take you back in time to the music of the era.

These parades often pass through the towns and villages of Normandy.


Events


Lectures, discussions and presentations are organised to deepen visitors' understanding of the history of the Normandy landings and its implications.

Concerts of military music, dance shows and other artistic performances are also scheduled to entertain visitors.
