Fête de Montreuil
The city's big popular festival at Parc Montreau
About Fête de Montreuil
The Fête de Montreuil: a crazy weekend for the whole city
Known as Week-end de Ouf, the Fête de Montreuil is the town's big annual popular festival, organized every year around June 21st at Parc Montreau. This flagship event of the Montreuil cultural calendar brings together up to 25,000 people for two days of entirely free festivities open to all.
The Fête de Montreuil is closely linked to the Fête de la Musique and the Festival des Cultures Urbaines, with which it generally coincides. This overlap of events gives the festival an exceptional cultural dimension, combining headline concerts, stages dedicated to urban arts, association activities, and fireworks displays.
Parc Montreau: the heart of the festival
Parc Montreau, located at 33 boulevard Théophile Sueur, is the main venue for the Fête de Montreuil. This landscaped park in the city center, with its vast lawns and tree-lined paths, transforms for the occasion into a large festive space with several stages, food areas, exhibition spaces, and children's play areas. The park's layout allows for large musical groups on stage and small concerts or roaming workshops to take place simultaneously.
On Saturday evening, the main stage hosts the edition's headline concert, featuring in 2025 the Cuban singer Yuri Buenaventura — an emblematic figure of French-language salsa — and the singer Zélie, for a high-quality musical evening. The concert concludes with a fireworks and percussion show by the company Commandos Percy, a magical moment that ends the festival in a grand visual and sound finale.
The Festival des Cultures Urbaines
The Fête de Montreuil integrates the Festival des Cultures Urbaines into its program on Sunday. This festival dedicated to hip-hop, dance, graffiti, rap, and beatbox highlights artists from the suburbs and promotes the cultural expressions of the territory's youth. Dance performances, battles, graffiti workshops, and rap concerts make up the program for this day dedicated to street cultures.
Around 80 local associations set up information and activity stands during the two days, offering workshops, games, sports demonstrations, and presentations of their activities. This associative village is an essential component of the Fête de Montreuil, which is as much a cultural celebration as it is a civic event for community gathering.
A tradition of openness and accessibility
The Fête de Montreuil is entirely free and requires no reservation. This total freeness is a strong political commitment from the city, which considers access to culture and celebration as a universal right. Facilities accessible to people with reduced mobility, family areas, and food and drink points are provided to facilitate the attendance of all audiences.
Montreuil is a city of committed culture, hosting numerous artistic events throughout the year. The Fête de Montreuil is the highlight of this annual program, the moment when the entire city comes together to celebrate its diversity, creativity, and popular energy.
