Every year, the Mairie de Paris organizes Kiosques en fête, a program of free events in the gardens of Paris. For this special year, the kiosks are getting into the spirit of the Olympic Games, with a rich program of free events. With 40 kiosks offering music, shows, readings, DJ sets and more, from May to December, you're in for a treat!

Every year, this festive event allows us to enjoy the green spaces of the city of Paris, and to liven up our strolls. Kiosques en Fête is back for another edition, and this year it's celebrating the Olympic Games, of course. Rendezvous from May to December in squares and gardens across the capital. Hundreds of cultural and sporting events are offered free of charge throughout the season.

Don't know about Kiosques en fête? This program, launched in 2017, allows Parisians to take ownership of the city's kiosks, in order to highlight them, and restore their place as places for conviviality.

Participating individuals, associations, arrondissement town halls and neighborhood councils can offer off-site libraries, concerts and dances, readings, entertainment for young and old, sports initiations and a wide variety of shows. The only rules: the project must last less than three hours (including set-up and dismantling) and be open to all, free of charge!

It's time to (re)discover the capital's beautiful parks and gardens, and to take advantage of a wealth offree events.
