Every June 21, at the time of the summer solstice, the whole of France vibrates to the rhythm of guitars, drums, keyboards and voices. The Fête de la Musique was launched in 1982 by Jack Lang, then Minister of Culture, and Maurice Fleuret, Director of Music and Dance. Their idea? To offer everyone the chance to play or listen to music free of charge, in a convivial and inclusive setting. The festival was conceived as a spontaneous platform for amateur and professional musicians. Since then, it has become an international event, held in over 120 countries around the world.
Once again this year, the Fête de la Musique 2025 promises to be an eventful affair in the Paris region, with an eclectic, accessible and intergenerational program. In Paris, the main squares will host open stages with a variety of influences: electro on Place de la République, jazz and swing on the quays of the Seine, urban pop in the gardens of the Palais-Royal. Institutions such as the Philharmonie de Paris, the Maison de la Radio, and the Petit Palais will be offering free or open-access concerts for a musical immersion in the heart of the capital's most beautiful settings.
But this unique atmosphere extends beyond Paris: this year, Neuilly-sur-Marne takes center stage with a series of festive family events. From late afternoon onwards, the town's Conservatoire will be resounding to the sound of open-air concerts.
