Do you love music and outdoor concerts? The Fête de la musique returns across France with a fresh, festive edition open to everyone. Each year, this people’s event fills the streets, concert halls, parks and gardens—and even churches, museums, cultural centers, bars and restaurants—with free performances and musical discoveries.
Launched in 1982 in France, the Fête de la musique has since evolved a lot, to the point of spreading abroad. This popular celebration has thus grown into a national event in several countries (Luxembourg, Italy, Greece, Peru, l’Équateur, Colombia). By adapting to the cultural particularities of each country, la Fête de la musique has proven able to invent itself, reinvent itself, and become a major international musical event. For proof, in 2017, more than 120 countries celebrated the Fête de la musique.
This year, the Fête de la Musique returns on Sunday, June 21, 2026, with a slate of free concerts across Paris and the Île-de-France region, notably in Argenteuil. In this big city in Val-d’Oise, the festival shines a spotlight on the saxophone, with several performances that offer a chance to discover this expressive instrument in a warm, welcoming, and festive atmosphere. A musical outing to celebrate the arrival of summer with family or friends. Here’s the program!
