Fête d'Asnières-sur-Seine

The Fête d'Asnières-sur-Seine: A Town Celebrating by the Seine

Asnières-sur-Seine is a town of 90,000 inhabitants in the Hauts-de-Seine department, bordering the Seine north of Paris. A lively, multicultural, and dynamic city, it celebrates its grand local festival every summer with an ambitious festive program that mixes free concerts, quality DJ sets, and popular neighborhood activities.

Concerts and DJ Sets on the Town Hall Square

The highlight of the Fête d'Asnières is undoubtedly the program of concerts and DJ sets organized on the parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall Square), Place de l'Hôtel de ville (92600 Asnières-sur-Seine). In 2025, the town offered its residents two exceptional evenings:

On June 21, 2025 (Fête de la Musique), the square hosted a free concert by Paris Select — a renowned pop-soul band — starting at 8:30 PM, preceded by DJ sets from 7 PM in several squares and gardens of the town (Place de la République, Square Gilbert Thomain, Jardins de la DS).

On June 23, 2025, the town hall square vibrated to the sound of electro with the legendary DJ-producer Kavinsky for a completely free DJ set starting at 9:30 PM, preceded by DJ-producer SELLIER (French Touch) and Anja Sugar from 7:30 PM. An exceptional event that attracted several thousand spectators.

Neighborhood Activities

The Fête d'Asnières is not limited to its main square. Several public squares and spaces in the city simultaneously host activities:

• Place de la République — music stage and DJ sets
• Square Gilbert Thomain — concerts and activities
• Jardins de la DS — open-air stage

These decentralized activities allow all neighborhoods of the city to participate in the festival, with a focus on accessibility and proximity.

Nuit Blanche and Other Cultural Events

Asnières-sur-Seine enriches its festive calendar with other notable annual events. The Nuit Blanche (White Night), held on the first Saturday of October, offers nighttime visits to heritage sites (including the famous dog cemetery), concerts, and theatrical performances. The Journée des Artistes (Artists' Day), on the second weekend of October, opens artists' studios (glassblowers, visual artists) to the general public, in partnership with the neighboring towns of Bois-Colombes, Colombes, and Gennevilliers.

Asnières-sur-Seine, a City Open to the Seine

The local festival is part of a cultural renewal for Asnières. The town has a significant cultural facility with the Scène nationale La Cigale, a dense network of associations, and a young population eager for free events and culture. The banks of the Seine, regularly animated, are a valuable natural asset for organizing open-air events.
