As every year, the Paris l'été Festival enchants the capital during the summer season. Join us from July 12 to August 5, 2025, in the four corners of Paris (and even further afield, in the suburbs) to discover a cutting-edge cultural program featuring dance, circus, theater, installation and music!
Whether you're into theater, dance, concert, installation or performance, the Festival Paris l'été is sure to please. What was long known as the Festival Paris Quartier d'été was renamed 10 years ago, when Laurence de Magalhaes and Stéphane Ricordel took over as directors. The name may have changed, but the high standards of the programming have not.
From July 12 to August 5, 2025, you can experience these new cultural horizons in the four corners of the capital, as well as in the suburbs, at 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 expect to see at this year's Festival Paris l'été? No fewer than 28 different cultural events featuring all artistic disciplines. Opening with dance and clubbing at the Grand Palais, cabaret at the Village Reille in the 14th arrondissement, an open-air show in the Bois de Vincennes, an electro ballet in the Jardin des Tuileries and dance stages for all ages at the Lycée Henri Bergson.
