Fête de la Musique in Blois

The Fête de la Musique in Blois: the royal city in music

Every June 21st, the city of Blois celebrates the Fête de la Musique with a profusion of concerts, events, and musical performances spread across all districts. From the banks of the Loire to the squares of the historic center, over thirty events unfold until the heart of the night, offering an exceptional panorama of musical diversity.

Mythical stages in the heart of heritage

The most emblematic places in Blois are transformed into open-air stages. The courtyard of the Royal Château hosts performances by the Blois-Agglopolys conservatory and the Blois Harmony orchestra. The Halle aux Grains schedules major concerts with prestigious ensembles. Place Gaudet becomes a must-see stage in collaboration with the Chato'do, the contemporary music center of Loir-et-Cher.

World music and young talents

Place Louis-XII showcases world music with various groups: electro-pop, samba, jazz, and many others. Place de la Résistance highlights local and emerging young talents. The Port de la Creusille, along the Loire, vibrates to the sounds of dub and electronic music until 1 am with sound systems and invited artists.

A popular and festive event

The axis of the streets Porte-Côté and Denis-Papin is closed to traffic from the afternoon to make way for musicians and the public. Brass bands, choirs, rock bands, and street artists take over the alleys, terraces, and squares, creating a unique and joyful atmosphere. The event is entirely free and accessible to all.

Strong institutional support

The Fête de la Musique in Blois is organized by the City of Blois with the participation of the Chato'do, the Conservatoire de Blois-Agglopolys, the Halle aux Grains - Scène nationale, and numerous local music associations. It benefits from the support of the Ministry of Culture as part of the national Fête de la Musique.
