The major electronic music festival of western Paris, on the Île des Impressionnistes in Chatou
Founded in 2010 under the name Inox Park by DJ and producer Joachim Garraud, Elektric Park is the leading electronic music festival in the Île-de-France region. Located on the mythical Île des Impressionnistes in Chatou, on the banks of the Seine, the festival transforms the riverbanks into a huge open-air dancefloor each year, welcoming nearly 30,000 spectators. Renamed Elektric Park in 2017, the festival has expanded its programming from techno and house to bass music, hardstyle, and hybrid live, while developing immersive scenography that makes it one of the highlights of the electro season in France.
The story of Elektric Park begins in 2010, when French DJ and producer Joachim Garraud launched Inox Park on the Île des Impressionnistes in Chatou, in the Yvelines department. The choice of this exceptional site—the island that inspired Renoir, Monet, and the Impressionist painters—is no accident: the aim was to create an event where nature, art, and electronic music meet, just 30 minutes from Paris and 20 minutes from Versailles.
For seven years, the festival grew under the name Inox Park, becoming a must-attend event for techno and house lovers in the Paris region. In 2017, the festival reinvented itself and took the name Elektric Park, marking an opening towards more varied styles: bass music, hardstyle, hybrid live, hardcore, while strengthening the work on visual and scenographic experience. This transformation was accompanied by a surge in popularity with international headliners and increasingly immersive scenography.
The Île des Impressionnistes offers an incomparable natural and historical setting for an electronic music festival. Stages are set up on the banks of the Seine, surrounded by greenery, creating an atmosphere that is both festive and bucolic. The site is easily accessible from Paris via RER A or by car, and has dedicated parking.
Over the years, Elektric Park has hosted the biggest names in the international electronic scene: Dirtyphonics, Fatima Hajji, Flux Pavilion, Camo & Krooked, Adaro, Ran-D, and many others. The festival generally features around thirty artists spread across several stages, mixing headliners and emerging talents in a program that embraces all currents of electronic music.
Elektric Park stands out for its commitment to accessibility and scenographic innovation. In 2021, the festival offered free entry to healthcare workers as a thank you for their commitment during the pandemic. The 2025 edition inaugurated a format with a 360° stage, placing the audience at the heart of the musical and visual experience. The festival welcomes nearly 30,000 festival-goers each year.
Elektric Park returns on September 5 and 6, 2026, on the Île des Impressionnistes in Chatou in an extended two-day format, from noon to midnight. The festival promises an entirely new concept with a more immersive and intimate experience.
