Dunkirk Wine and Beer Fair 2026 at Le Kursaal

The Dunkirk Wine and Beer Fair returns to Le Kursaal, on Place du Casino, from 23 to 26 October 2026. Organised by the charity association Les Chevaliers du XXè Siècle, the event pairs four days of tastings with oenology workshops, blind tasting sessions and a large hall dedicated to regional produce from the Hauts-de-France area. Wineries and breweries from France and further afield exhibit alongside food producers, making the fair a meeting point for hospitality buyers, distributors and curious drinkers alike. The atmosphere leans on Dunkirk's carnival heritage, so tastings come with music, food stalls and a sociable, festive pace rather than a purely trade-floor feel. Profits from the fair are donated by the organising association to support children and adults with disabilities, a mission that has driven the event since its early editions. The doors are open to the general public, with trade-focused hours during the opening days. Dunkirk is easy to reach by high-speed train from Paris, Lille and Brussels. Staying in the city centre near Le Kursaal or the harbour lets visitors combine the fair with the wider North Sea coastline.
