About Fête de la Musique in La Rochelle
Every June 21, La Rochelle celebrates the Fête de la Musique: amateur musicians, music school students, and professional artists play for free in the streets, squares, and around the Vieux-Port. Organized by the City of La Rochelle, the evening is entirely free and open to all, with a strong emphasis on acoustic music.
The Fête de la Musique in La Rochelle
As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique transforms La Rochelle into an open-air stage every June 21. Music freely takes over public spaces, from early evening until the heart of the night, in all genres and for all audiences.
A celebration in the heart of the city
Usually, the entertainment is concentrated around the Vieux-Port and in the adjacent streets of the city center, where open-air stages are set up. Bars, restaurants, and shopkeepers extend the celebration onto their terraces and inside their establishments. The City particularly encourages acoustic groups, in the spirit of a popular, friendly, and eco-responsible event.
