During Parisian Disability Month, in June, a wide range of free events are on offer to help you celebrate in an inclusive way, including bal arrangé, exhibitions, shows and concerts accessible to all.

Throughout the month of June, the City of Paris is offering a wide range of disability-related activities, including sports, shows, guided tours and exhibitions. The aim of these events is to give a voice to those concerned, during Parisian Disability Month. To celebrate the final days of this event, a grand bal arrangé is even being organized on July 5, 2025, inclusive and festive, with the aim of bringing together hundreds of people to dance together, whether disabled or not.

From Sunday, June 1 to Monday, July 7, 2025, more than 80 events in the visual arts, theater, cinema, music, dance and literature await you in the capital, with a 16th edition under the banner of artistic creation and the visibility of artists with disabilities. In addition to the ball, highlights include an interactive dance show on June 7, an exhibition in the 19th arrondissement of works by Club House members on June 12, and the Futur Composé festival at Ground Control.
