Music Festival in Melun
Three free concert venues on June 21, 2026
About Music Festival in Melun
Every June 21, Melun celebrates the Fête de la Musique (Music Festival): the prefecture of Seine-et-Marne transforms into an open-air stage, from the Préfecture gardens to Place Praslin, passing through Place Saint-Jean. Organized by the City of Melun with its partners, the day is entirely free and mixes pop, funk, rock, jazz, hip-hop, and French chanson, from the afternoon until the heart of the night.
The Fête de la Musique in Melun
As everywhere in France since 1982, the Fête de la Musique transforms the city of Melun into an open stage every June 21. Conservatory students, talented high schoolers, local bands, and established artists perform for free in public spaces, from late afternoon until night, in all styles and for all audiences.
A festival spread across three locations
For the 2026 edition, the festival is spread across three complementary hubs: the Préfecture gardens, exceptionally open to the public for a family evening, Place Saint-Jean with its two stages (new for 2026), and Place Praslin, which extends the evening with a series of pop, funk, rock, and electro concerts programmed with Scènes 77.
The day highlights the local Melun scene — conservatories of Melun and Vaux-le-Pénil, high school talents, winners of local talent competitions — alongside invited artists, in a friendly and free atmosphere.
