Fête de la Musique in Enghien-les-Bains

The Fête de la Musique in Enghien-les-Bains: music on the lake shores

Every June 21st, Enghien-les-Bains, the only spa town in Île-de-France, offers its residents and visitors an exceptional Fête de la Musique. The exceptional natural and architectural setting of the spa resort—the lake, the tree-lined promenades, the Belle Époque buildings—provides an ideal backdrop for free open-air concerts that blend artistic quality and popular conviviality.

The Enghien lake, a unique natural stage

The Enghien-les-Bains lake, with its 46 hectares of water, is the town's jewel. Its landscaped banks, promenades, and gardens form an exceptional natural setting for the Fête de la Musique concerts. In the evening, the reflection of the lights and the full moon on the lake creates a magical atmosphere that enhances the musical performances and delights the audience.

Enghien, a city of culture and contemporary art

Beyond its image as a chic spa town, Enghien-les-Bains has established itself as a capital of contemporary art and digital arts. The town houses the Maison des Arts d'Enghien-les-Bains (MACE), the first national center for digital arts creation, whose innovative artistic experiments sometimes extend to the Fête de la Musique with performances blending music and digital technologies.

A refined and eclectic program

The Fête de la Musique in Enghien-les-Bains offers a program that reflects the town: refined, eclectic, and accessible:

• Classical music in heritage spaces
• Jazz and bossa-nova by the lake
• French popular music on the main stage
• Contemporary music for younger generations
• Concerts by students from the local conservatory

The casino and thermal establishments celebrate

The Casino d'Enghien-les-Bains, the largest casino in the Paris region, and the spa resort's establishments participate in the Fête de la Musique by organizing their own musical events, accessible free of charge to the public during this festive evening. This collaboration between the private sector and the municipality reinforces the exceptional nature of the Enghien celebration.

An event that attracts visitors and residents

The Fête de la Musique in Enghien-les-Bains attracts not only the town's residents but also many visitors from neighboring towns and the entire Paris region, drawn by the site's reputation and the quality of the program. This influx of public contributes to the town's liveliness and cultural influence.
