National Day 2026: The Concert de Paris will echo across the Champ-de-Mars on July 13.

To crown Bastille Day in style, the Orchestre National de France, the Maîtrise, and the Radio France Choir stage a grand symphonic concert each year on the Champ-de-Mars, with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. Because the fireworks this year are being held a day earlier than usual, the free concert has been moved to Monday, July 13, 2026. This year, Gautier Capuçon, Marina Viotti, and Corinne Winters are among the artists expected to perform.

Following the success of recent years, Paris again hosts a splendid and grand concert symphonique on the occasion of the Fête nationale. As every summer, this grand événement musical invites music lovers to what promises to be an exceptional evening. Usually held on July 14, this Paris 2026 grand concert has been moved to Monday, July 13, due to the fireworks display held the night before.
