The Fête de la Musique returns on Saturday, June 21, 2025 ! On this day, amateur and professional musicians alike pay tribute to living music, taking to the streets to give free concerts in a wide variety of styles (rock, hip-hop, jazz, classical, electro...), not forgetting more original, unusual or offbeat musical events.
As a reminder, the Fête de la Musique was created in 1982 on the initiative of the French Ministry of Culture. That year, the Ministry of Culture's studies and research department conducted a major survey of French cultural practices. It revealed that five million people, including one young person in two, play a musical instrument. So Jack Lang, architect and scenographer Christian Dupavillon, a member of his Cabinet, and Maurice Fleuret came up with the idea of a major popular event to enable all musicians to express themselves and make themselves known. The very first Fête de la Musique was launched on June 21, 1982, the symbolic day of the summer solstice.
And it was a resounding success: that year, musicians took to the streets, squares, kiosks, courtyards, gardens, stations and squares to play their music.
In 1985, the Fête de la Musique began to be exported, as part of the European Year of Music. In 2017, over 120 countries around the world took part in the Fête de la Musique!
Since then, the Fête de la Musique has grown! On June 21, for the 2025 edition of the Fête de la Musique, if you don't feel like going where everyone else goes, if you want to get off the beaten track, or have an original and atypical outing, pick from this selection of good deals and unusual free concerts not to be missed in Paris and the Ile-de-France region!
