A new Fête de la Musique this year! Every June 21 since 1982, the people of France have been taking to the streets with their instruments to make music come alive! Every year on the same date, budding musicians and singers take to the streets, squares, bridges, boulevards, squares, parks, gardens, bars, cafés and restaurants, as well as churches and museums, to pay tribute to music in all its forms.
From rock to rap, passing through reggae, zouk, classical, French chanson, jazz, blues, funk—and even metal and electronic music—the spotlight is on June 21 as all genres take center stage. This comes thanks to the talents of amateur musicians, but also to well-known, proven artists who don’t hesitate to offer free concerts for the occasion.
In Paris, there’s no shortage of music-focused finds, with some must-see events and a few surprises waiting just around the corner…
Elsewhere in the Île-de-France region, Fresnes is also celebrating. This Val-de-Marne town is once again taking part in the Fête de la musique. Known as home to the Fresnes penitentiary center, considered one of France's most important penal institutions, the Ile-de-France commune makes a point of celebrating culture throughout the year.
In 2026, Fresnes celebrates Music Day and the summer on Friday 19, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June. The program? Activities as well as free concerts by local amateur artists to discover at the Parc des Sports and at the Parc André Villette. Not forgetting the famous fireworks, at the Stade de la Paix, which will kick off this new summer season in style.
Friday, June 19, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
