Events
With 94 memorial sites and places of interest throughout Normandy—44 museums, 21 memorials and natural sites, and 29 cemeteries—the opportunities to immerse yourself in the history of our region and our country, and to participate in the duty of remembrance, are virtually endless.
Regarding D-Day, as the schedule of events is not yet officially available, regular updates will be posted on this page to keep you informed of the events planned during your stay at the campsite.
Omaha Village
June 4, 5, 6, and 7, 2026.
In 2026, the D-Day Omaha Museum and the Omaha Beach Campground are joining forces once again to organize the Omaha Village on June 4, 5, 6, and 7, 2026.
Building on our experience from the 2024 and 2025 editions, we hope to bring together WWII enthusiasts once more around a common project: to showcase the most famous of the D-Day landing beaches, Omaha Beach.
The 3rd edition of the Omaha Village will be even more appealing, and we hope to attract even more reenactors. We will offer our now-traditional parades of period vehicles, campfires, torchlight marches, dynamic demonstrations, and of course, our concerts and fireworks.

Ceremonies
Many of us, campers and staff alike, have turned on our televisions or connected our phones and computers on June 6th in recent decades to watch the national and/or international ceremonies held annually to commemorate the various anniversaries of the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy.
Every year, Normandy remembers those who lost their lives on its soil, but also those who survived and brought peace with them to the world. Ceremonies are held in the presence of veterans and their families, local and presidential authorities, and other guests.
You will find all the information regarding the ceremonies on this page as soon as they are officially announced. We will also inform you of the various travel arrangements, schedules, and other necessary information.
Places to visit
D-Day Omaha
Thousands of original artifacts are on display in the heart of Omaha Beach, housed in an authentic period American building. Located between the American Cemetery and Pointe du Hoc, this museum presents a unique collection, assembled over nearly fifty years by a passionate father, now deceased, who left his two sons the responsibility of preserving this legacy.

Mémorial de Caen
Upon arrival at the Caen Memorial, you will be transported back to 1939 in the area dedicated to the Second World War. Throughout the visit, period costumes, photographs, and artifacts are on display, while videos completely immerse you in the story. Before you, a poignant photograph and a globe present the borders envisioned by Germany in 1943.
Stop in the room dedicated to the D-Day landings to learn all about the Battle of Normandy. Take the opportunity to watch the film about D-Day, “The Battle of Normandy: 100 Days That Changed the World.” Passing through the Memorial’s gardens, descend into General Richter’s Underground Bunker to relive the final moments of the German commander and his men.
While the Caen Memorial is well-known for recounting the history of the Second World War, the post-1945 world and the Cold War are also explored there. You’ll find genuine Cold War relics such as aircraft fragments, a thermonuclear bomb, and even a nuclear warhead… Don’t miss the two sections of the Berlin Wall brought back intact from the German capital!

Airborne Museum
Just a few kilometers from Utah Beach, the Airborne Museum in Sainte-Mère-Église is located on the church square where the statue of paratrooper John Steele hangs. Through its four buildings, each with a modern, interactive, and spectacular design, the museum guides you in the footsteps of the American paratroopers of D-Day.
Embark in a genuine Waco glider, unique in France in this state of preservation, or in a C-47 aircraft, just as the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions did during the Battle of Normandy. The museum’s exhibits come alive through hyper-realistic reenactments. You’ll also have the sensation of jumping from a C-47 in mid-air to land in the heart of the village of Sainte-Mère-Église, fighting in the flooded marshes during the Battle of La Fière, or getting lost in the Normandy hedgerows during the Battle of the Hedgerows…
“The Paths to Freedom,” shown in the main cinema, movingly explains the fates of the men who came to Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach, as well as the highlights of the air and sea landings.
And to accompany you throughout your visit, the HistoPad tablet will take you back in time. Thanks to its hyper-realistic 3D graphics, planes and museum objects come to life! Experience the jumps of parachutists who landed in the church square, witness decisive battles that have marked history, and many other surprises… Immersion is guaranteed!

The D-Day landings of June 6, 1944, marked the first day of the “Battle of Normandy.” The fighting in Normandy lasted for almost three months, and many families back home received terrible news from the front: their son, husband, or father had been killed, wounded in action, or were missing in action.
At the end of the Battle of Normandy, the Allies suffered over 200,000 casualties, while the Germans suffered between 300,000 and 450,000. The end of the war in Normandy then marked the beginning of the final burials on this scarred land.
Today, 29 cemeteries represent the ultimate sacrifice for these families. They are an indelible reminder of the horrors of the Second World War. Visiting these cemeteries will allow you to put a name, an age, or a country to all these men and women who fell in Normandy.
The American cemetery
Located in the town of Colleville-sur-Mer, the Normandy American Cemetery overlooks Omaha Beach. More than 9,300 American military and civilians are buried there. Over 1,500 people are honored in the Garden of the Missing. It is managed and maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
A visitor center offers a permanent exhibit presenting the Commission’s mission, the missions and operations of the American forces, as well as portraits of military and civilian personnel buried and honored in the cemetery.
