The lakeside city celebrates music on the large floating stage of the lake with « Lac en Scène » and a fireworks display
Enghien-les-Bains, the only spa town in Île-de-France, celebrates the Fête de la Musique in grand style each year on the shores of its lake. Under the name « Lac en Scène », the city organizes a major free concert on one of Europe's largest floating stages, followed by a pyromelodic fireworks display. Each edition attracts an average of 20,000 spectators (28,000 in 2025), with prestigious headliners who have performed over the years: ABBA, Yannick Noah, Christophe Maé, and The Dire Straits Experience.
Every June, Enghien-les-Bains, the only spa town in Île-de-France, offers its residents and visitors an exceptional musical event under the name « Lac en Scène ». The exceptional natural and architectural setting of the spa resort — the 46-hectare lake, the tree-lined promenades, the Belle Époque buildings — provides an ideal backdrop for this major free Fête de la Musique event.
The highlight of the event is the floating stage installed in the heart of Lake Enghien — one of Europe's largest floating stages. From this unique setup, nationally and internationally renowned artists have performed over the editions: ABBA, Yannick Noah, Christophe Maé, The Dire Straits Experience... Each edition attracts an average of 20,000 spectators from neighboring towns and throughout the Paris region, and the 2025 edition gathered up to 28,000 people by the lake.
The evening revolves around a free open-air concert on the lake's floating stage, usually scheduled for early evening, and concludes with a pyromelodic fireworks display synchronized to music, launched over the water. The reflection of the lights and colorful explosions on the lake creates a magical atmosphere that makes the event famous.
Beyond its image as a chic spa town, Enghien-les-Bains has established itself as a capital of contemporary art and digital arts. The city is home to the Centre des Arts d'Enghien-les-Bains (CDA), an art center dedicated to digital writing and the intersections between music, image, and technology. The festival « Les Bains Numériques » also extends this artistic identity every June.
« Lac en Scène » has become one of the unmissable events of the summer season in Île-de-France. The event attracts not only residents of Enghien and the agglomeration, but also many visitors from Paris and the entire region via Transilien line H (Enghien-les-Bains station, 15 minutes from Paris Nord). This attendance contributes to the cultural influence of the spa town and its lake.
For the Fête de la Musique 2026, the town of Enghien-les-Bains renews its annual event « Lac en Scène » on Saturday, June 20, 2026, on the floating stage installed in the heart of the lake. The evening revolves around a big free open-air concert, accessible to all audiences, followed by a pyromelodic fireworks display synchronized to music, launched over the water.
The 2026 headliner is the group Goldmen, a tribute band to Jean-Jacques Goldman formed in 2010, led by Alain Stevez accompanied by six musicians. For two hours, the group performs Jean-Jacques Goldman's greatest hits in an emotional journey blending popular songs and cult tracks, from the lake's floating stage.
At the end of the concert, at 11 PM, a magnificent pyromelodic show created by Jacques Couturier illuminates the jetty and the water, synchronized to music. The reflection of the lights on the lake creates the magical atmosphere for which the event is renowned.
The 2025 edition, featuring The Dire Straits Experience, gathered nearly 28,000 spectators by the lake. The City is renewing this grand spectacle format in 2026, which has made Enghien-les-Bains famous for the Fête de la Musique.
