The 2026 Herring and Scallop Fair in Dieppe
On November 14 and 15, 2026, Dieppe will celebrate two iconic products of its local fishing industry: herring and scallops.
Now in its 56th year, the Herring and Scallop Fair (*Foire aux Harengs et à la Coquille Saint-Jacques*) promises a festive, gourmet weekend along the harbor quays.
The program includes tastings, live music, an artisan market, and a welcoming atmosphere in the heart of this Norman town.
It’s an event you won’t want to miss during your stay at our hotel in Dieppe!
Head to Quai Henri IV, Quai du Carénage, and "Bout du Quai" to enjoy this major public festival a Dieppe staple for over 50 years.
Treat yourself to grilled or marinated herring, prepared on-site, or delicious scallop skewers.
Pair your meal with barbecue-cooked potatoes and a glass of white wine.
But the 2026 Dieppe Herring Fair offers much more, with a full program of activities for all ages!
Stroll through the artisan and food vendor stalls, enjoy live musical performances, and stop by the flea market or the small fairground.
A fireworks display is also planned for this 56th edition.
Looking for a souvenir to take home? Official posters, magnets, mugs, and bags featuring the event’s branding will be available for purchase.
A wonderful opportunity to discover Dieppe’s maritime traditions and enjoy a warm, inviting atmosphere centered around seafood specialties.
Immerse yourself in the nautical theme by staying at the spa hotel La Tour aux Crabes.
You’ll be charmed by its peaceful ambiance and its spa, featuring an indoor pool, hammam, sauna, and a salt wall.
Perched on the former ramparts of Dieppe, it is perfectly positioned for you to enjoy the festivities of the Herring and Scallop Fair.
Have the enticing aromas whetted your appetite?
Our restaurant menu offering views over the port of Dieppe highlights the finest seafood:
If you’re simply in the mood for a drink, head to our panoramic bar, Le Patio.
As you snack on cod fritters, cured sausage, or guacamole, you can take in a stunning view of the port of Dieppe.
A special mention goes to our wide selection of cocktails perfect for keeping that summer feeling alive.
And for a local gourmet treat, why not enjoy a fine bottle of Norman cider?
