It's the festive date that signals the start of summer. The Fête de la Musique arrives each year on June 21 across France. During this cultural event, a host of concerts and musical activities — often free — are held in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region. It's the opportunity each year to enjoy outings that live up to your expectations.
With family, as a couple, with friends, or flying solo, we’re off to explore the many events where every music genre gathers. Whether famous or under the radar, musical artists are determined to delight and move Parisians, both day-trippers and regulars alike.
Among the capital’s iconic venues ready to lift our spirits for the Fête de la Musique, you’ll find the emblematic Place Dauphine, nestled in the heart of Paris, on the Île de la Cité, in the 1st arrondissement. Here, you’ll find a spot that embodies one of the paragons of Parisian living. Always a place for a stroll, soaking in this quintessentially Parisian atmosphere, and when the sun shines, retreat to one of the terraces that line the square. For this year’s edition of the Fête de la Musique à Paris, Place Dauphine is set to glow with festive energy on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
