A wide variety of events are on offer throughout the year.

'Mai des Arts'
' Mai des Arts' has gained a well-deserved respect over the years. Various events are organised throughout the month of May and artists of all kinds exhibit their work during this period.
This is the time to discover new painters and sculptors and enjoy street theatre, dances and professional stage shows…

An eagerly awaited event is the " Artists Under the Skies" day - usually scheduled for the 3rd Sunday in May - during which professional and amateur artists exhibit together in the old quarters of the town. The day provides a fantastic opportunity for the public to meet artists and discover their work in a highly convivial atmosphere.

Summer Retrospective: A painting or sculpture exhibition of a famous contemporary artist: July & August, St Jacques Presbytery

Cyrano’s Table :
In mid-July Bergerac becomes, for the space of a weekend, the departmental capital of Périgourdin gastronomy and wine. The streets of Bergerac are taken over by restaurants, caterers, ‘ferme auberges’ and wine-producers offering their wares to passers by.
In the evening live music accompanies diners as free concerts are organised near the tables.

Roxanne’s Table :
Every other year, in mid-August, it is Roxanne’s turn to set the table in the Place de la République in Bergerac. Five consecutive days of free concerts and gastronomic evenings unfold in a festive atmosphere.

The Bergerac Fair-Exhibition, organised every other year (even years) at the end of the holiday period, provides an opportunity to find out about the economic life of the town as well as its clubs, associations and activities. The fair is based at Piquecailloux, lasts for a week and has over 300 stands. Each day is rounded off with a concert.

Local Heritage Day: 3rd Friday of September  :
National Heritage Days are designed to emphasise the immense diversity and wealth of our local heritage and to remind the public of the essential role played by associations and various groups in preserving and valuing many of the sites. The third weekend of September is dominated by talks and visits (both guided and non-guided).
