The Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre is Paris’s famous annual grape harvest festival held in the Montmartre quarter, typically in early October 1. It features wine tasting from the mini-vineyard on Sacré-Cœur hill, a procession of wine barrels and floats through the neighborhood, musical concerts in local squares, a carnival parade, and artistic exhibitions. The festival celebrates Montmartre’s young wine, village character and community spirit.
Originating in 1934, this festival honors the Montmartre vineyard which still produces a small amount of local wine. The event blends rural tradition with bohemian Montmartre culture: cabaret shows, art stalls and musical acts are common. It has become a symbol of Parisian heritage, emphasizing local pride in Montmartre’s history as a village distinct from city life.
