Culture and free leisure activities take over all the neighborhoods of Reims
Un Été à Reims is the cultural and festive highlight of the summer in Reims, offered by the City of Reims from mid-June to mid-September. This free program takes over all the neighborhoods of the city with concerts, shows, exhibitions, workshops, sports activities, and open-air cinema screenings. A true showcase of Reims' cultural and social life, Un Été à Reims aims to liven up public spaces, foster encounters between residents, and make culture accessible to everyone.
Un Été à Reims is the flagship summer program of the City of Reims, designed so that every resident can enjoy a summer rich in discoveries, culture, and leisure, regardless of their neighborhood. From mid-June to mid-September, the city rolls out a vibrant program of free activities open to all.
From July to the end of August, open-air cinema screenings travel through the neighborhoods of Reims. Each screening is a friendly and participatory event: shared picnics, artistic activities, film quizzes, followed by a screening on the big screen at dusk. The films, chosen to appeal to the widest audience, allow for rediscovering classics or enjoying recent releases in everyday locations.
From early July to the end of August, the Reims Activ'été program offers over 150 free activities for young people from Reims aged 6 to 18. Sports (archery, climbing, football, swimming), arts and creativity (circus, sewing, urban dance, painting), discoveries (dog sledding, horse riding, caving): the choice is immense and allows young people to discover new passions throughout the summer.
Throughout the summer, free concerts, street performances, exhibitions, and participatory workshops liven up the parks, squares, and public spaces of Reims. The programming mixes local and regional artists, performing arts companies, and citizen initiatives, in a spirit of sharing and conviviality.
Un Été à Reims is part of an accessibility and inclusion approach. All activities are free, and particular attention is paid to priority neighborhoods so that every resident of Reims can benefit from the summer cultural and leisure offerings. The program is the result of collaboration between the City, local associations, and cultural stakeholders in the area.
Un Été à Reims 2026 will once again offer three months of free activities in all neighborhoods of the city. The detailed program will be announced in the spring of 2026.
