Cannes Lions 2027

Cannes Lions 2027, the International Festival of Creativity, runs June 21–25, 2027 at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, France. Passes were not yet on sale when this page was checked; the organizer is collecting registrations of interest.

What it is

Cannes Lions is a week-long festival and awards programme for the creative marketing communications industry: agencies, brands, marketers and creatives in advertising, marketing and communications. It is owned by Informa plc. The week combines the Lions awards, stage talks from creative marketers and networking.

The Awards

The Lions are awarded across specialist categories that recognise creative excellence and effectiveness in every sector and discipline. Winners are announced on stage day by day through the festival, and the on-site awards programme includes live judging.

The organizer has also introduced the Creative Brand Lion, which recognises how brands use creativity across their organisations. The festival publishes LIONS Integrity Standards for entrants.

Learning and communities

LIONS Academies: a campus at the festival, the School, where early-career professionals train with industry practitioners.
Young Lions Competitions: creative competitions for entrants under 30.
Dedicated programmes: in 2026 these included LIONS Sport, a two-day programme on the business of competition, LIONS Creators for the creator economy, and LIONS B2B, a one-day summit.

Passes

Attendance is by paid pass. Options include general-access Classic, Gold and Gold Plus passes and dedicated passes for marketers, start-ups, students, under-30s, sport marketers and creators.

A Streaming Pass lets remote viewers watch sessions from the Lumière, Debussy and Rotonde stages for 14 days after the festival. Scholarships and funded places are available, and groups of ten or more can use the organizer's Groups service.
