About Fête de la Musique Boulogne
The Fête de la Musique in Boulogne-Billancourt: over 30 stages for everyone
Every June 21st, the city of Boulogne-Billancourt transforms into a giant open-air stage to celebrate the national Fête de la Musique. Created in 1982 on the initiative of the Ministry of Culture under the impetus of Jack Lang and Maurice Fleuret, this popular festival finds particularly fertile ground in Boulogne-Billancourt thanks to the cultural richness of one of the most dynamic cities in the inner Parisian suburbs.
Over 30 free concerts throughout the city
The peculiarity of the Fête de la Musique in Boulogne-Billancourt lies in its ability to spread music to all corners of the municipality. Each year, over 30 free concerts are organized in dozens of different locations: public squares, parks, cultural establishments, cafes, restaurants, and community spaces. Residents just need to let themselves wander to discover a new performance around every corner.
Grande'Place and Espace Landowski
The Grande'Place, the beating heart of the city center, hosts a large stage each year with a program of pop, rock, and contemporary music. The Espace Landowski, a major cultural venue in the city, also offers concerts blending jazz, French chanson, and world music in a friendly atmosphere.
La Seine Musicale on Île Seguin
One of the highlights of the Fête de la Musique in Boulogne-Billancourt is undoubtedly the concert organized at La Seine Musicale, on Île Seguin. This internationally renowned auditorium, inaugurated in 2017, opens its doors and outdoor spaces to offer the public an exceptional musical experience in a spectacular architectural setting, right in the heart of the Seine.
The Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory
The Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Boulogne-Billancourt (CRR-BB) actively participates in the Fête de la Musique by offering concerts showcasing the students and teachers of the institution. These performances, of a very high artistic level, allow the general public to discover the work accomplished throughout the year in all musical disciplines: classical music, jazz, contemporary music, early music.
The Harmony Orchestra and amateur groups
The Orchestre d'Harmonie de Boulogne-Billancourt is one of the emblematic ensembles of the local Fête de la Musique. This large wind and percussion ensemble, bringing together amateur and professional musicians, offers a very convivial jazz-funk-pop program each year. It is accompanied by numerous amateur groups — rock, soul, hip-hop, electro — who contribute to the festive and relaxed atmosphere of the event.
Youth and family activities
The city ensures it offers a program suitable for younger audiences and families. The media libraries organize musical awakening sessions for children from 18 months old, family karaoke workshops, and interactive music activities. The Centre Boulonnais d'Initiatives Jeunesse (CBIJ) offers rap, pop, and electro concerts for teenagers and young adults.
An event rooted in the cultural richness of Boulogne-Billancourt
Boulogne-Billancourt is a city that has always had a special relationship with culture and the arts. Once the silent film capital of the world with its legendary studios, home to Renault workshops and the birthplace of many artists, it boasts an exceptional cultural density within its territory. The Fête de la Musique naturally fits into this living heritage, celebrating the creativity and artistic diversity of a city of 120,000 inhabitants each year.
All activities and concerts are completely free, in accordance with the founding spirit of the Fête de la Musique.
