Hammamet Festival 2026 – 60th Anniversary

Entities: Habib Bourguiba · Ziad Rahbani · Winston Churchill · Oum Kalthoum · Festival International de Hammamet

Overview

The Festival International de Hammamet’s 60th edition runs from 11 July to 13 August 2026, featuring 32 productions—about 44 % Tunisian—and participants from across the Mediterranean and beyond. Highlights include the opening ceremony “Les Fugitives” directed by Wafa Taboubi, a co‑production with Morocco “Aïta Mon Amour”, and a closing concert on International Women’s Day led by Soufia Sadok.

Mid‑festival performances saw Tunisian producer Mehdi Mouelhi’s “Nostaljica” reinterpret classic songs on 14 July, followed by Spanish star Bebe’s Tunisian debut on 15 July, both underscoring cultural exchange.

On 31 July the festival launched a digital exhibition at the Centre culturel international de Hammamet. Running through 2 August, the showcase presents ten digital panels tracing six decades of the festival’s history, its artistic evolution, and milestones such as the 60th anniversary of Tunisia’s national television. The exhibition’s slogan “Une mémoire vivante” (Endless Memories) echoes the anniversary theme and highlights the event’s lasting cultural heritage.
