This great open air festival organised by the Eucalyptus Festival Committee with president Daniel Chetrit takes place on 9 and 10 August. A local festival that enjoys great success each year with residents and large numbers of tourists alike.

The Eucalyptus Festival has succeeded the Festival of Saint John which was highly popular in the area in the 50s.

It was revived in 1975 by the president, Mr Tabet, and took place in the fields of the old Chemin de Vallauris. Since 1976 it has been staged in the garden of Eucalyptus in Square Delaunay, led by successive presidents Mr Giacalone, Mr Mignon, Mr Tripodi, Mr Guignot and Mr Breil, and by Daniel Chetrit for the last year.
