About Transat en Ville
Transat en Ville is a completely free summer festival organised by the City of Rennes. For six weeks, the event sets up deckchairs on Place de la Mairie and in various districts of the city, offering a 100% free programme of open-air concerts, shows and workshops. An unmissable event of the Rennes summer, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, open to everyone.
Transat en Ville, Rennes' open-air summer
Transat en Ville is the major free summer event organised by the City of Rennes. Each summer, deckchairs are set up on Place de la Mairie and in several districts of the city, transforming public spaces into places of relaxation, conviviality, and cultural discovery. The 100% free programme combines open-air concerts, live performances (dance, theatre, street arts) and creative workshops for all ages.
A programme spread throughout the city
The events are organised around two weekly highlights: concerts and shows in the districts on Thursdays, and events on Place de la Mairie on Saturdays. A relaxation area with deckchairs is accessible for a large part of the week in the heart of the city. The event contributes to the cultural dynamism and attractiveness of Rennes during the summer period.
Information and programme
The detailed programme is published annually by the City of Rennes on the official Rennes summer website (ete.rennes.fr) as well as on the event's social media channels.
