The Sea Courgain Festival is organized by the Calais History and Traditions association to celebrate the fishermen's quarter, one of the oldest in the city. Maritime activities, traditional costumes, and a lively atmosphere mark this day, deeply rooted in Calais's history.

According to established tradition, the City of Calais provides the final performance at the Sea Courgain Festival. This year, it's the Big Fiesta group that will close the evening on the Quai de la Colonne with their lively and festive atmosphere.
