Free concerts and music festivals to discover this summer 2024 in Paris and Île-de-France

From June to September, the parks and gardens of Paris and all the departments of the Ile-de-France region, from Yvelines to Val de Marne, come alive with free concerts and music festivals. Jazz, classical, electro, rock or French variety, including a return to the 80s... there's something for everyone! Here's a roundup of free music events not to be missed this summer in Paris and the Paris region.

It's a season that many Parisians look forward to. Synonymous with the sometimes stifling heat, overflowing terraces, multiple ice cream tastings and bucolic picnics, summer is also the season for music festivals. While they spring up all over Paris and the Île-de-France region, and multiply a little more each summer season, there are very few music festivals that are accessible free of charge.

And yet, they do exist. From the Défense jazz festival to the Paris Jazz Festival and Classique au vert, there's plenty to enjoy. These free musical events are a delight for music lovers who are careful with their wallets, but not only! These free open-air concerts, held every summer, also delight the ears of Ile-de-France residents who are constantly on the lookout for good musical deals throughout the department. All the concerts organized by the municipalities are a mine of good ideas for outings, so make the most of them.

Here is a selection of free music festivals to discover this summer in Paris and the Île-de-France region.
