The Fête de la Musique in Paris
Born in Paris in 1982, the Fête de la Musique remains an unmissable event there every June 21. The entire city transforms into an open-air stage: amateur and professional musicians play for free in the streets, squares, quays, parks, museums, churches, and institutions, from morning until the heart of the night.
A celebration across all 20 arrondissements
In Paris, the Fête de la Musique is experienced everywhere and on all scales: large event stages (Champs-Élysées, Olympia, Auditorium de Radio France), institutional concerts (gardens of the Palais-Royal, Assemblée nationale, national museums), dances and DJ sets on the banks of the Seine, neighborhood brass bands, participatory choirs, and bar stages. Each arrondissement offers its own program, from the arenas of Quai Saint-Bernard to the viewpoint of Parc de Belleville.
All genres coexist: jazz, classical, gospel, rock, punk, chanson, electro, techno, house, rap, world music, brass band, Japanese taiko, or amapiano. Some stages host headliners and require reservation, while the vast majority of concerts remain freely accessible.
