Exhibitions, dance, concerts, performances, immersive installations—the question on everyone's lips: what's happening in Paris? Where are all these artists coming from, and why are artistic happenings popping up on every corner of the city? The answer is that Nuit Blanche is back! This major cultural event returns for its 25th edition on Saturday, June 6, 2026, delighting fans of contemporary art.
Every year, the Nuit Blanche showcases French and international contemporary art during a unique evening that transforms the City of Light into an open-air museum. Hundreds of events are programmed from dusk until dawn, to ensure a night full of surprises and emotions.
That evening, we head to the Parc de la Villette, to enjoy free entertainment for all. With its many performance spaces and halls, and its large lawn, the Parc de la Villette regularly offers a wide variety of cultural events and activities. Here's what's in store for you this Nuit Blanche.
Performance, Music, Radio.
*Duuu is a space for radiophonic art dedicated to contemporary creation in its most diverse and vibrant forms. In the heart of Parc de la Villette, it has offered since Folie N4 a program of public events. On the occasion of Nuit Blanche 2026, *Duuu presents a night devoted to Musée Griot·tes, the first museum dedicated to orality in Tambacounda (Senegal), whose opening is scheduled for December 2026.
Since 2024, *Duuu has been developing a residency program in Tambacounda. This project supports the construction and rollout of Musée Griot·tes, a venue dedicated to cultures and intangible heritage, rooted in the oral traditions of the griottes.
From the forecourt of Folie N4, and broadcasting on *Duuu’s airwaves, stories cross and respond to one another. Visual artists, storytellers and musicians will be gathered to share and amplify the myriad expressions that animate the Musée Griot·tes project.
In partnership with Free Label, Musée Griot·tes, Espace 19, Public Establishment of the Parc and the Grande Halle de la Villette, Souffleurs de Sens.
With the support of Nuit Blanche 2026.
