Campari's Enthralling Return to Cannes: A Celebration of Cinema and Creativity

Campari Returns to Cannes in 2026

The prestigious Festival de Cannes welcomes Campari back from May 12 to 23, 2026, marking a momentous fifth year as the Official Partner. This iconic Italian aperitif brand aims to celebrate the artistry of filmmaking by offering attendees a series of curated experiences designed to honor the moments that define cinema.

Located directly on the legendary red carpet, the Campari Lounge serves as a cultural hub where acclaimed filmmakers and talented creatives engage in discussions about their craft during the day. As the sun sets, this exclusive venue transforms into a hot spot where expert mixologists craft signature cocktails featuring the beloved Campari for high-profile guests, allowing the indelible flavors of the brand to mingle with the glamour of the festival.

Among the most anticipated events at the Campari Lounge is a private moment dedicated to industry insiders. By invitation only, this event celebrates the audacious cinema and storytelling showcased at Cannes. Additionally, the Lounge will host the Golden Globes Luncheon, gathering prominent film figures and international voters in an elegant setting.

Continuing its collaboration with The Hollywood Reporter, Campari will also feature a live recording of the Awards Chatter podcast at the Lounge, providing guests with a rare behind-the-scenes look into the world of cinema. In a nod to the creative community, Campari partners with Soho House to offer an enhanced aperitivo experience for its members, fostering connections and creativity among film enthusiasts.

Transporting a piece of Milan to the French Riviera, Camparino in Galleria returns with its renowned cocktail offerings at the heart of the Croisette. Guests can indulge in classic drinks, including the iconic Negroni, and a special cocktail—the Red Carpet - Cannes Edition. This unique blend features hibiscus-infused Campari, bitter chocolate vermouth, and Courvoisier VSOP, harmonizing bold flavors with the cinematic allure of the Côte d'Azur.

For over 40 years, Campari has woven itself into the fabric of cinema, partnering with esteemed festivals and collaborating with visionary filmmakers. At Cannes 2026, the brand continues its legacy of supporting creative minds and elevating the magic of film.
