Whether you’re more into theatre, dance, concert, installation, or even performance, the Festival Paris l'été will undoubtedly win you over. The festival that was long known as the Paris Quartier d'été Festival was renamed more than ten years ago when Laurence de Magalhaes and Stéphane Ricordel took over the leadership. If the name has changed, the standard of programming has stayed the same.
Mark your calendar for July 11 to August 4, 2026 across the four corners of the capital to dive into these new cultural horizons, with events also in the suburbs, including Pantin. And some events are even free!
In addition to theater, music and dance, circus, a drag show and even cabaret performances are on the bill. This year, the Festival Paris l'été is going all out for multidisciplinary openness. Yes, you can see it all at this festival, throughout Paris and beyond, with no fewer than fifteen partner venues, as diverse as they are varied, ranging from the Grand Palais to the Palais de la Porte Dorée, via the Tuileries Gardens, the Louvre domain, the Bois de Vincennes, Westfield Forum des Halles, the Lycée Henri Bergson, the Parcelle du 19M and the Monnaie de Paris.
So, what can we look forward to this year at the Festival Paris l'été? The detailed lineup isn’t available yet. In 2025, no fewer than 28 different cultural events showcased every art form. From dance and clubbing, opening at the Grand Palais, to cabaret at the village Reille in the 14th arrondissement, a spectacle en plein air in the Bois de Vincennes, but also an electro ballet in the Jardin des Tuileries...
