About Music Festival in Dijon
Every June 21, Dijon celebrates the Fête de la Musique throughout its historic city center: from Place de la Libération to the courtyards of the Ducal Palace, from squares to gardens, every space becomes an open stage. Organized by the City of Dijon, the day is entirely free and mixes all styles, from French chanson to metal, from jazz to electro, from rap to traditional music.
Music Festival in Dijon — edition 2026
How the day unfolds
The day builds up in three stages. Starting at 4:00 PM, acoustic ensembles—brass bands, street bands, and percussion groups—will take over various spots in the center: the canal port, the Cité forecourt, Place Sainte-Chapelle, Rue de la Liberté, and Place Bossuet. At 5:00 PM, the festival perimeter officially opens, and the thirteen themed stages begin, each with its own genre and lineup. At 10:30 PM, a municipal decree requires all street music in Dijon to stop.
Good to know for the 2026 edition
- The City stage, usually located at Place de la Libération, is moving to Place Darcy to preserve the cool air provided by the fountains at Place de la Libération during the heatwave.
- Alcohol consumption in public spaces is prohibited; bars may serve drinks on their terraces, but no draft beer sales are permitted on the street.
- Water stations and restrooms are installed at key locations throughout the city center: remember to bring a reusable water bottle.
