This free festival at an airfield in Seine-et-Marne (77) combines open-air cinema, a live concert and flight experiences.

On Saturday, June 27, 2026, the Meaux-Esbly aerodrome brings cinema to new heights with L’Aérodrome fait son cinéma, a free day where the big screen shares the runway with airplane rides, a live concert and family activities. From 1 p.m., visitors are invited onto the grounds to enjoy kids’ games, sweet and savory food trucks, and that summer-outing vibe, feet planted on the tarmac before lifting their eyes to the screen.

The day kicks off with sky-high thrills, as the local flying clubs offer “airborne joyrides,” a chance to take in the Pays de Meaux from above in a wide, bird’s-eye view. Meanwhile, the youngest attendees head to the big screen with Planes, shown at 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM for kids 4 and up. Planes all around, planes on screen: you’d be hard pressed to be more in tune with the theme.

From 8 p.m., the soundtrack changes: the band All For The Funk takes the stage with a live concert blending funk, R&B and pop rock, to crank up the vibes before nightfall. Then, at 10:30 p.m., the day shifts into cinema under the stars with First Man. The setting could hardly be more apt: space exploration on the big screen with a launch pad unfolding in the background.

Between family-friendly activities, live music, flight experiences and a nighttime screening, the Meaux-Esbly airfield serves up a genuine summer set-piece, with takeoffs starting in the afternoon and landings under the stars.
