The Fête de la Musique in Champigny-sur-Marne: multicultural celebration in the heart of Val-de-Marne
Every year around June 21st, the City of Champigny-sur-Marne celebrates the Fête de la Musique, highlighting the cultural richness of the commune, one of the most cosmopolitan in Val-de-Marne. The municipality organizes a flagship event: the World Cuisines & Music Festival, which combines international gastronomy and concerts in the city center.
The World Cuisines & Music Festival, Place du Marché
Launched in 2024, the World Cuisines & Music Festival has become the unmissable event of Champigny's Fête de la Musique. It traditionally takes place on the Saturday closest to June 21st in Place du Marché, in the city center. Throughout the afternoon and evening, local cultural associations — Malian (ABKF), Franco-Tamil, Polish (ACLFP94), Vietnamese, Turkish, Kabyle (Timlilit), Portuguese (APSCR) communities and others — offer dances, songs, and culinary specialties from their countries of origin.
In the evening, local amateur groups take over with a varied repertoire (pop, folk, blues, jazz, French songs), before a live DJ accompanied by a singer extends the celebration late into the night.
The Olivier-Messiaen Conservatory and other venues in the city
The municipal Olivier-Messiaen Conservatory, the city's main artistic education institution (music, dance, theater), regularly participates in June's musical celebrations with student and ensemble concerts open to the public. Other Champigny venues like the café-concert Au Belvédère (avenue Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in the Cœuilly district) also host concerts for the Fête de la Musique.
