Spring Routes:
where to go for sporting moments, fashion shopping and cultural discoveries
The world wakes in spring. In the months ahead, fashion events, sporting competitions, art fairs, and music festivals take over the calendar. We have gathered the season’s defining moments — the ones worth packing for.
March 19–29 — For those whose sport is tennis, Florida is the destination: Miami Open brings together the finest players on the planet, and the Florida sun is guaranteed to chase away winter’s last trace.
March 27–29 — From the United States to Asia: Art Basel, the fair that has defined the global art world for over half a century, opens its doors. Galleries, performances, cinema evenings, art parties — contemporary art in every form and open to anyone curious to show up.
April 4–12 — The French Riviera awaits those who appreciate clay courts: the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters 2026 arrives on the Côte d’Azur in April. The tournament is famous not only for its stellar line-ups, but for views across the Mediterranean and the easy atmosphere of the Riviera — a rare opportunity to combine pleasure with... something even more pleasurable.
April 10–12 and April 17–19 — The iconic Coachella returns to California. This year’s headliners include Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, the queen of reggaeton Karol G, and the electronic project Anyma. Two weekends in the California desert, and the music speaks every language — from pop and hip-hop to indie and electronica.
May 4 — Formula 1 returns to Miami. The perfect occasion to combine racing with time on the beach.
May 4 — New York hosts the MET Gala. The year’s most exclusive charitable event will once again bring together the brightest names in culture. The red carpet can be followed online, but planning a trip to the Big Apple for these days means placing yourself at the very heart of social life. The 2026 theme is Costume Art, sponsored by Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren.
May 12–23 — The Cannes Film Festival. Two weeks of world premieres, red carpets, and southern sun. The Croisette is the real venue: celebrities, parties, sea air and the French Riviera at its most alive — no ticket required.
May 18 — June 7 — The spring season closes with Roland-Garros. Paris once again becomes the capital of tennis and the clay courts welcome the world’s best players for the final act.
