In Montmartre, Dalida Square comes alive for Music Day. This Sunday, June 21, 2026, an acoustic pop-rock concert invites you to drop by.

In Montmartre, a guitar, a voice, or a few chords quickly find their place. The neighborhood has long been associated with cabarets, artists, popular songs, and lively evenings. For the Fête de la Musique 2026, Place Dalida comes alive to embody the spirit of the national street celebrations that have made the famous hill's reputation!

Created in 1982 by the Ministry of Culture, the Fête de la Musique is built on a simple idea: bring music into the streets and make it accessible to everyone. Amateurs, professionals, residents and passersby come together for free concerts across a wide range of genres. This year, it will be held on Sunday, June 21, 2026.

Located in the 18th arrondissement, at the junction of Rue de l’Abreuvoir, Rue Girardon and Allée des Brouillards, the place Dalida honors one of the great voices of popular song. The singer, born in 1933 and who passed away in 1987, lived just a few steps away on Rue d’Orchampt. The site officially took on its name by municipal decree in 1996.

More than 35 years after her death, Dalida continues to attract as many fans as ever to the capital's 18th arrondissement. From her mythical home to her tomb in the Montmartre cemetery and the bronze bust of the Place named after her... We invite you to follow in Dalida's footsteps on a unique tour of Paris. [Read more]

The square is best known for its bronze bust, unveiled in 1997 and created by sculptor Aslan. It has become a waypoint for Dalida fans and a familiar stop for Montmartre wanderers. With its sloping streets, old façades and village-like atmosphere, Place Dalida sits at the heart of a Montmartre that is both touristy and down-to-earth, and deeply linked to the memory of its artists.
