Fête de la Musique à Delle

The Fête de la Musique in Delle: a night of free concerts on June 21st

Every year since 1982, June 21st has been the national Fête de la Musique, established by Jack Lang and Maurice Fleuret to celebrate the summer solstice with live music. Delle (90100), a dynamic border town in the Territoire de Belfort, joins this great national celebration by offering free concerts in its streets and public spaces, in the heart of the town.

The event is coordinated by Delle Animation and the town's music associations, mobilizing amateur and professional musicians for a musical evening open to all, in the tradition of sharing and free access that defines the spirit of the Fête de la Musique.

Musical diversity for all tastes

The Fête de la Musique in Delle showcases a wide range of musical genres. On the various stages and in the different spaces of the town, you can discover performances of rock, pop, French chanson, jazz, world music, and even classical music throughout the evening. This diversity reflects the richness of the local music scene and allows everyone to find their musical pleasure in the festive route offered.

Amateur musicians — music school students, local bands, neighborhood ensembles — perform alongside more established groups, in a spirit of sharing and cultural democracy that makes the Fête de la Musique unique compared to ordinary concerts. Squares, streets, and parks transform into improvised stages for the evening, creating a unique musical experience in the urban space of Delle.

Delle, a town of music and culture

Delle boasts a rich musical and cultural life, supported by numerous associations and the Dell'Ethon festival, a major gathering of traditional and world music regularly held in the town. The Fête de la Musique is part of this local musical tradition, offering residents and visitors a preview of the cultural summer in the Belfort region.

Delle's border location, just a few kilometers from Porrentruy (Switzerland) and Basel (Switzerland / Germany), gives it a special European dimension. The Fête de la Musique in Delle thus attracts Swiss and German visitors who cross the border to share this Franco-Swiss musical celebration.

A program to discover on the spot

One of the characteristics of the Fête de la Musique is its spontaneous and open nature. While an official program is usually provided by Delle Animation, concerts follow one another and sometimes spring up unexpectedly, depending on the musicians who occupy the town's public spaces. It is this element of surprise and discovery that contributes to making the evening unique and unforgettable for those who venture there.
