About Music Festival in Chalon-sur-Saône
Every June 21, Chalon-sur-Saône celebrates the Fête de la Musique: music resonates on every street corner of the city center to celebrate the first day of summer. Organized by the City of Chalon-sur-Saône, the day is entirely free and takes over squares, terraces, and bars, featuring local bands and artists of all styles.
The Fête de la Musique in Chalon-sur-Saône
As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique transforms Chalon-sur-Saône into an open-air stage every June 21. Music freely takes over public spaces to celebrate the first day of summer, from early evening until the heart of the night, in all genres and for all audiences.
Four stages in the heart of the city
For the 2026 edition, the City of Chalon-sur-Saône sets up its program on four stages spread throughout the center: the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, the Place Saint-Vincent, the Place du Port-Villiers, and the Place de Beaune, the latter dedicated to electronic music. In addition to these official stages, there are concerts in bars and restaurants, which animate their terraces and rooms, as well as numerous initiatives by musicians playing in the streets of the center.
Each year, the City selects local bands wishing to perform on stage and publishes a leaflet detailing the day's program as the event approaches.
