Shrimp and Fishing Festival

Fête de la Crevette et de la Pêche

Honfleur, France

Oct 10 - 11, 2026Expected

Each year the harbor town of Honfleur celebrates its catch of grey shrimp with the Fête de la Crevette et de la Pêche, a festival of the fishing community. The event underscores Honfleur's long identity as a Norman fishing port, with the fresh catch at the heart of the day.

Media proof note

The Shrimp and Fishing Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
