If I say June 21, you'll answer Fête de la musique of course! Every year, on the same date since 1982, France celebrates music in all its forms. Whether you're a fan of rock, pop, reggae, classical music, French variety, zouk, rap, RnB or even metal or electro... all kinds of music are honored every June 21 during this popular event, which has become a not-to-be-missed rendezvous over the years.
In Île-de-France, the smart music finds are plentiful, with free concerts to discover across numerous francilienne towns in Val-d’Oise, Val-de-Marne, and the Yvelines. In Paris, budding musicians and singers are also out in the streets, sharing their covers or original compositions with a wide audience. Whether in parks and gardens, museums, churches, bars, concert halls, or more unusual venues… both young talents and established artists seize the Fête de la Musique to offer the public a grand, vibrant celebration of music. And if you’re near Châtelet for the occasion, here’s what awaits you on the historic square!
