Cannes Film Festival 2026: CabNow alongside BMW on the red carpet

From 12 to 23 May 2026, the Croisette lived to the rhythm of the 79th Cannes Film Festival. For the fourth year running, CabNow was part of it: in partnership with BMW — official partner of the Festival — and the Ambassador company, our chauffeurs drove talents and guests to the legendary red-carpet stairs.

An exceptional 79th edition

The 2026 edition will be remembered: a jury chaired by South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook, joined by Demi Moore, Chloé Zhao and Stellan Skarsgård among others, the Palme d'Or awarded to "Fjord" by Cristian Mungiu, and honorary Palmes presented to Peter Jackson, Barbra Streisand and John Travolta. Twelve days of screenings, red carpets and evenings — the full winners' list is on the official Cannes Festival website.

CabNow × BMW × Ambassador: the logistics behind the red carpet

Behind every red-carpet climb lies precision machinery. Our mission alongside BMW and the Ambassador company:

• Shuttles for talents, directors and guests between Nice airport, the hotels and the Palais des Festivals
• Official vehicles positioned for the red carpet, to the minute
• Day-and-night coordination throughout the fortnight, with a plan B on every rotation
• Protocol-briefed chauffeurs: discretion, presentation, secure itineraries

The verdict is a success: rotations kept despite the closed city centre, delighted clients and guests, and a tight-knit team from day one to the last. This big-event experience — also built at Cannes Lions, the Monaco Grand Prix and for Madame Figaro in Arles — is what we bring to every client, all year round.

See you in 2027 for the 80th edition

The date is already set: in 2027, the Cannes Film Festival will celebrate its 80th edition — and we will be there. With a headline novelty: the red carpet will be climbed aboard the new BMW i7, the 100% electric sedan to be unveiled next year. Silent, sovereign, firmly future-facing: exactly the image we want to carry onto the red carpet. We cannot wait.
