New Here in Montpellier? Block these dates: May 13–17.

The FISE is back for its 30th edition. For 5 days, the banks of the L*z turn into the world's biggest urban sports festival: BMX, skateboard, roller, freestyle scooter, parkour, breaking, 3x3 basketball. The best riders on the planet compete here.

Hundreds of thousands of people show up every year. It has become a local tradition — most Montpelliérains own at least one of the plastic cups handed out with drinks. Consider it your initiation.

A heads-up if you live in Port Marianne: the next two weeks will be louder than usual. Thanks for taking one for the team.

Book ahead: tickets are on sale at fisemontpellier.com — buy online to skip the queue.

See you on the L*z.
