The Riviera's cultural calendar is splashy and star-studded, and never more so than during the Cannes International Film Festival in May. The film screenings are not open to the public, so unless you have a pass, your stargazing will be on the streets or in restaurants (though if you hang around the back exits of the big hotels around 7 pm, you may bump into a few celebs on their way to the red carpet). Cinéma de la Plage shows Cannes Classics and Out of Competition films free at Macé beach at 9:30 pm. In addition, Cannes Cinéphiles (www.cannes-cinema.com) gives 4,000 film buffs a chance to view Official Selections; you can apply online starting in February.

Every July the world-renowned Jazz à Juan festival stages a stellar lineup in a romantic venue under ancient pines. Launched in 1960, this festival hosted the European debut performances of such stars as Miles Davis and Ray Charles. More recently, it spawned the fringier Jazz OFF, with 200 musicians and free street concerts, as well as the Jazz Club at Les Ambassadeurs beach, where you can enjoy a drink with live music (headliners have been known to pop in for impromptu concerts here). Book online or buy tickets directly from the tourist office in Antibes or Juan-les-Pins.

The Fête du Citron, running from mid-February through the first week of March, is a full-blown lemon love-in: citrus floats made of real fruit glide through town and musicians are on hand with entertainment. Think of it as France's answer to the Rose Bowl Parade, minus the football.
