Fête de Tremblay-en-France

Tremblay l'Estivale: the festival at Parc de Tremblay every summer

Tremblay-en-France, a town of 34,000 inhabitants in the northeast of Seine-Saint-Denis, a stone's throw from Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, cultivates a dynamic and popular cultural life. Every summer, the town organizes Tremblay l'Estivale, a series of free evenings and events that make the Parc de Tremblay — located on boulevard de l'hôtel de ville — a place for gathering, music, and dance.

These summer festivities embody the cultural values of Tremblay-en-France: accessibility, diversity, conviviality, and a love for world music. They are entirely free and open to all residents, regardless of age or origin.

Cumbia, salsa, and world music

The musical programming of Tremblay l'Estivale is its most distinctive asset. The town has chosen to highlight world music, particularly Latin American rhythms, which are highly appreciated by the Tremblay community.

The evenings generally begin at 6:30 PM with a DJ set to get the crowd going, followed by a free salsa class led by an experienced instructor — a tradition appreciated by beginners and seasoned dancers alike. The highlight is the live concert at 8:00 PM with renowned musical groups. The collective Sidi Wacho, from Lille, Roubaix, and Valparaiso (Chile), offers an explosive mix of cumbia, hip-hop, and oriental rhythms; the Cuban group Adonis Llerena y La Diferencia gets the audience dancing to authentic salsa rhythms.

Circus arts at Château Bleu

On the first weekend of June, Tremblay-en-France hosts the Fête du Chapiteau Bleu, dedicated to circus arts. On the Château Bleu site and at the Théâtre Aragon, acrobats, clowns, jugglers, and artists from all circus disciplines perform in a festive and family-friendly spirit. This event, which precedes the summer evenings at Parc de Tremblay, kicks off the Tremblay festive season in a traditional and contemporary circus atmosphere.

A town connected to its neighbors in Seine-Saint-Denis

Tremblay-en-France is an active participant in the cultural life of Seine-Saint-Denis, notably within the Banlieues Bleues network, the famous jazz festival that regularly takes over the town during its annual editions. This openness to the rest of the department enriches Tremblay's cultural life with stimulating external contributions, while anchoring the summer festival in a vibrant and supportive territory.
