October 31 at 9am (This weekend)
Numar · Endoume • 40 €
Start your morning floating through a gentle body awakening on the water. Stretch, breathe and mobilize on a paddleboard in the Vallon des Auffes, then enjoy a short paddle as the day begins. No experience needed, just a willingness to wake up slowly and beautifully.
Every day at 10am
MuSaMa, le musée du Savon de Marseille · Opéra
Learn the 100-year-old art of Marseille soap-making, then stamp your own bar to take home. Bonus: a scent-guessing game tests your nose for lavender, olive, and honey.
Every day at 10am and 2pm from Jan. 2 to Dec. 31
Château de la Buzine · Saint-Menet
Michel Gondry's interactive workshop turns anyone into a filmmaker in three hours flat. Write, shoot, and craft DIY special effects with your group, then walk out with your finished film.
Sat, Oct 31 · 10:00 AM
Emiceram Atelier De Poterie Marseille · Marseille • 50 €
Get your hands dirty at this cozy ceramics studio where Emi guides just five people through throwing, modeling, and decorating. A perfect excuse to unplug and make something tangible you can actually take home.
October 31 at 4pm (This weekend)
Théâtre des Chartreux · Les Chartreux • 8 €
"Sorcier Lovecraft" brings Lovecraft's creepy tales to life through puppetry, following scatterbrained Mitsi and her unlikely rat companion Ralzeimer as they brave the cats of Ulthar and face Cthulhu on their quest for Celephaïs. Dark fantasy adventure that somehow works for ages 3 to 12.
Every day at 11pm from Oct. 14 to Nov. 15
La Criée Theatre · Saint-Victor
Step inside a grand old fish market on the Vieux-Port and catch bold theatre, dance, and puppet shows at this national centre for drama. The harbour views are almost as striking as the programming.
October 31 at 3:30pm (This weekend)
Divadlo Théâtre 69 · Marseille • from 6 €
A thousand-year-old treasure vanishes on the day of the ball, prompting a witch to enlist young audience members as princes, monsters, and castle guards. The interactive family show by Compagnie Les Crapules features magic, songs, and ventriloquism.
October 31 at 10am (This weekend) +1
Théâtre Massalia · La Belle de Mai • € 10
Underneath concrete cityscapes, a giant dancer discovers tiny articulating wooden puppets weaving white cocoons in this Théâtre Désaccordé production at Théâtre Massalia, where miniature characters explore balance and movement in a pastel setting.
Sat, Oct 31 · 2:00 PM
[mac] Musee d'art contemporain de la Ville de Marseille · Marseille • Free
Let contemporary art spark family conversations you never expected. These guided tours transform abstract installations into engaging stories kids actually want to hear.
Every day from Oct. 28 to Nov. 4
LE PLAN de A à Z · Réformés • $
Powerful photos meet purposeful plates. Hermine Roquet M documents L'Estaque's boat prep for the Gaza flotilla, while Zoe Cooks The System serves Mediterranean dishes made with sail-transported ingredients.
Every day at 9am
Musée Cantini · Préfecture • Free
Louisa Babari’s solo exhibition unfolds across three Marseille museums, featuring a collaborative sound installation that archives and celebrates poetic voices from the African continent and its diaspora.
October 31 at 9am (This weekend)
Musée des Beaux-Arts, Marseille · Les Cinq-Avenues • Free
Autumn leaves meet symphonies at the Musée des Beaux-Arts. Wander the galleries hunting fall-themed paintings, then scan QR codes to hear matching music. Free, self-guided, and quietly magical.
Browse Marseille neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
