Rendezvous at Mozart Square in Joinville-le-Pont: four evenings of entertainment in July 2026

The Rendezvous at Mozart Square return to Joinville-le-Pont in July 2026. Organized by the city, this free event transforms Mozart Square, in the Polangis district, into a lively hub with concerts, activities for kids, and food stalls.

Each early summer, Mozart Square hosts a string of gatherings for the residents of Joinville-le-Pont. For two weekends, this public space becomes a pop-up guinguette where concerts, games and activities unfold for everyone. The aim is to offer an open-air meeting place in the heart of the Polangis neighborhood.

The 2026 edition takes place on Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4, followed by Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11. Activities begin in the late afternoon, starting at 4:30 PM, while the concerts are scheduled for the evening, typically from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Admission is free and no reservation is required.

Each day offers activities for a range of audiences. Kids can join in creative workshops, enjoy games, entertainment stages, and even makeup sessions. Families also have access to chill-out and dining areas. In the evening, multiple bands take the stage, delivering a diverse lineup that blends pop, rock, soul, jazz, and French and international pop. The musical program rotates from date to date, ensuring a different vibe for every night.
