Evenings during WAICF

Where it happens, and how

A short format — two days — but with a fast-growing evening culture: tech-vendor cocktails, VC and consultancy parties, and the WAICF Awards gala open to start-ups and researchers. Beaches are closed in February, so everything happens in the Croisette hotels and the Old Port restaurants. Watch out in 2027: WAICF (10–11) overlaps the opening of CANNESERIES (11 February).

On foot from Loka

88 rue Meynadier, 06400 Cannes — in the heart of old Cannes, between the Forville market and the Old Port.
Palais des Festivals≈ 600 m · 8 min
Old Port / Quai Saint-Pierre≈ 250 m · 3 min
Croisette (Carlton / Majestic)≈ 1,1 km · 14 min
Port Canto / Palm Beach≈ 2,3 km · 28 min
Cannes railway station≈ 700 m · 9 min

Why Loka during WAICF

The casa, a 8 min walk from the Palais des Festivals

Two days of conference, one real evening to make an impression. Loka hosts 40 to 70 people on a full buy-out, with a cocktail workshop as the ice-breaker — considerably more memorable than a standing drink in a hotel lobby. Bar, dining room and terrace, service until 12:30 AM. See the private hire page or book a table for a group of fewer than 8.

When to book

Only two nights, but the clash with CANNESERIES makes 10 and 11 February 2027 unusually tight. Book 4–6 months ahead.

Three formats, one casa

Full or partial buy-out — up to 70 guests

🍸 Latino afterwork

20 – 40 lokos

Signature cocktails, circulating latina finger food, DJ set. Two to three hours, standing format, ideal between the show closing and the official party.

🍽️ Client dinner

10 – 25 lokos

Private table, three-course South American menu, mezcal tasting running through the evening. Served in ninety minutes if you have somewhere else to be.

🎉 Full buy-out

40 – 70 lokos
