Lyon's free open-air cultural summer
Supported by the City of Lyon, Tout l'monde dehors is the great free cultural event of the Lyon summer. From late June to late August, over 200 open-air events — concerts, street performances, screenings, workshops, performances — take over the parks, squares, and gardens of all Lyon's districts. This popular and unifying event transforms the city into a huge open-air stage, accessible to all without reservation.
Launched by the City of Lyon, Tout l'monde dehors has become over the years the unmissable cultural event of the Lyon summer. This ambitious program offers more than 200 free open-air events each year, spread across the nine districts of the city, from late June to late August.
The richness of Tout l'monde dehors lies in the diversity of its programming and its presence in all of Lyon's neighborhoods. Classical music concerts, jazz, chanson, and world music, street theater performances, open-air cinema screenings, dance workshops, public readings, circus, visual arts: all artistic disciplines are represented, with a particular focus on family-friendly and participatory events.
Events unfold in Lyon's parks, gardens, squares, and public spaces: Parc de la Tête d'Or, Parc de Gerland, Place Bellecour, the banks of the Rhône, the slopes of Croix-Rousse, and many other locations. This presence in public spaces allows it to reach audiences who do not usually frequent traditional cultural venues, affirming the program's popular and inclusive purpose.
Tout l'monde dehors is entirely free and requires no reservation. Simply show up at the venues to enjoy the program. A detailed program is available for download on the City of Lyon website, as well as an Easy to Read and Understand (FALC) version, demonstrating the event's commitment to universal accessibility.
