Olalla × Provence: Sister Lavender Festivals in France

Sister Lavender Festivals

From Provence to the Pacific Northwest — Blooming Together

Olalla x Provence

A Blooming Friendship Across Continents

What started as a local celebration in our small corner of the Pacific Northwest is now blooming into something bigger — and more beautiful — than we ever imagined. The Olalla Lavender Festival is thrilled to be connected to not one, but two sister lavender festivals in the heart of Provence, France!

Through these joyful partnerships, we’re creating a bridge of fragrance, friendship, and festival spirit between communities who share a deep love for lavender, nature, and gathering together in celebration.

From handwritten postcards to festival-goers in France, to exchanging cultural traditions, stories, and blooming inspiration — this connection is all about people, community, and shared joy.

Grasse: L'Instant Lavande

Nestled in the hills above the French Riviera, Grasse is known as the perfume capital of the world, and every summer, the town hosts L’Instant Lavande, a fragrant celebration of local lavender and botanical beauty.

Our connection with Grasse began through a shared love of lavender and storytelling, and we’re honored to be included in their international cultural trail in 2025.

A place where scent, history, and elegance meet, and where Olalla now has a small piece of its heart.

Valensole: Fête de la Lavande

In the heart of Provence, surrounded by vineyards and clay-rich hills, the village of Valensole comes alive each summer with its Fête de la Lavande. Artisans, musicians, and locals gather in celebration of the iconic bloom.

Our connection with Salernes blossomed from a mutual appreciation for local makers, nature, and the joy of community festivals. We’re excited to mark the beginning of this new friendship in 2025, with plans to grow and share more across borders.
