The Fête de la Musique in Vitré
As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique transforms the city of Vitré, in Ille-et-Vilaine, into an open-air stage every June 21. Music freely takes over public spaces in the evening, in all genres and for all audiences, in the heart of a medieval city center ranked among the most beautiful in Brittany.
A festival in the historic center
Usually, several stages are set up in the streets of Vitré's city center, where amateurs and local groups take turns throughout the evening. The city's bars and restaurants join the celebration by hosting concerts on their terraces, against the backdrop of cobbled streets and half-timbered houses.
ℹ️ Detailed program to come. The details of the 2026 edition (stages, artists, schedules) are not yet known to date. This page will be updated as soon as it is published.
