THE CALM BEFORE CANNES
THE CALM BEFORE CANNES
Disney’s Sunday beach party brings clients, partners and internal teams together on the eve of the festival.
For 2026, the brief was to take this much-loved tradition and give guests even more to interact with, talk about and take away from the afternoon.
Something relaxed but remarkable. Playful but premium. Completely Disney.
We created a beachfront experience that guests could properly step into.
A bespoke coconut bar served Disney-branded cocktails beneath the Cannes sunshine. A custom beach swing, complete with palm trees and uninterrupted sea views, became the place to sit, socialise and capture the moment.
Disney Parks balloons greeted guests as they arrived, while live pianist reimagined some Disney classics alongside some modern favourites. A beachfront barbecue covered outdoor and beach seating, branded gifts and playful details kept the experience flowing throughout the afternoon.
Nothing felt forced. Everything invited interaction.

THE PERFECT CANNES CURTAIN-RAISER
THE PERFECT CANNES CURTAIN-RAISER
More than 400 guests came together for an afternoon of food, music and conversation by the sea.
The result was a relaxed but unmistakably Disney opening to Cannes Lions. It was a chance to slow down before the festival sped up - bringing Disney’s community together in a setting made for connection.
Sunshine. Sea views. Six hundred coconuts.
That’s how you start Cannes.
