The Fête de la Musique heralds the start of summer, and returns to Paris on Friday June 21. It's an opportunity to discover amateur and professional musicians performing in the streets and parks of Paris for a wild evening! For the occasion, the Place de la Contrescarpe, in the 5th arrondissement of the capital, enters the dance.

The Fête de la Musique, an annual celebration held on June 21, is back in the capital! Launched in France in 1982, it celebrates music in all its forms, with free concerts held in streets, parks, public squares, and sometimes even in unusual places.

It's an evening when amateur and professional musicians come together to share their passion and offer a variety of performances, from rock and classical to jazz, reggae and many other genres. Fête de la Musique is an opportunity to get together, dance and celebrate the universal power of music.

Place de la Contrescarpe is one of the most emblematic squares in the Latin Quarter in Paris. Located in the 5th arrondissement, it is surrounded by cafés and restaurants. The square owes its name to its proximity to the old city walls, where the contrescarpe, a defensive structure, once stood. Also known for its weekly organic market, the Place de la Contrescarpe is transformed for the Fête de la Musique .
