La Cité Fertile in Pantin marks Music Day on Sunday, June 21, 2026, by hosting the very first Dominican festival. What's on the program? Concerts, dance classes and a caliente atmosphere!

Ready to sway like crazy on June 21, 2026, for the new Fête de la musique? The iconic, people‑powered celebration that everyone loves is back on the longest day of the year, designed to bring a smile to your face and keep your ears entertained late into the night.

Each year, the Fête de la musique is the occasion for France’s many amateur musicians to perform before a crowd, express themselves, and make a name for themselves. On June 21, every genre takes center stage: rock, rap, R&B, classical, electronic, French variety, blues, jazz... a multitude of styles to discover for free in the street, and sometimes in places that are more unusual, trendy, or must‑see.

This is especially the case for Cité Fertile. This famous spot, located in Seine-Saint-Denis, and more precisely in Pantin, once again tunes in to the beat by taking part in the new Fête de la musique.

As a reminder, the Cité Fertile is a third‑place, experimental hub built on the site of a former SNCF freight yard in Pantin. Cité Fertile seeks to unite, inspire, and mobilize all audiences around the challenges of sustainable city living through ambitious programming and projects.

Sunday, June 21, 2026, for the Fête de la musique, Cité Fertile invites you to discover the very first Dominican festival. To mark the occasion, there will be concerts, dance classes, and 100% Dominican food on offer.
