World Music Day 2026: a free open-air gig on the Petite Ceinture rails at the TLM

The Fête de la musique is back in the capital this Sunday, June 21, 2026 to the delight of free-concert fans! On the occasion of the summer solstice, this popular, celebratory event that has existed in France since 1982 spills into the streets of Paris and Île-de-France. No matter which neighborhood you wander through that evening, you can expect a bounty of live music across genres, thanks to the lineup of numerous amateur and professional artists.

The upside of being in the capital is that you’ll find good options everywhere—bars, museums, parks, churches, and even in the museums, as well as in churches, but also in tiers-lieux, including on the Petite Ceinture! Dedicated to circular fashion, sustainable food, and culture, the TLM—this welcoming, community-driven space housed in a former railway shed since 2024—awaits in the 19th arrondissement, along the stretch between Rosa Parks and Corentin Cariou.
