Jardin21, season 2026: a week of celebration, nature and cultural discoveries at the heart of Parc de la Villette

Nestled along the Ourcq Canal, in the heart of Parc de la Villette (Paris 19th), Jardin21 is reopening for the 2026 season, from April 2 to September 26, 2026. This 1,600-square-metre crossroad of urban farming, party and artistic creation returns for the new season with a free, inclusive and festive spirit, welcoming audiences of all kinds.

Spring is in full swing this week at Jardin21: the sun is shining, temperatures are rising, and the garden is opening up outdoors without worrying about the night chill. It’s the perfect moment to enjoy our sun-soaked tables, settle in for long evenings that linger until sunset, all while savoring the day-and-night lineup the venue has on offer.

This week, Jardin21 rolls out a lineup of standout moments to keep the energy alive after the reopening.

Wednesday, April 15, the garden transforms into an outdoor yoga studio with a yoga class 6:30–7:30 PM, the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day amid greenery.

Thursday, April 15, Jardin21 turns into a Comedy Club. From 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Palmeraie space, the Academy of Humor hands the mic to six rising stand‑up comedians, singled out for their stage presence and energy on screen, on TV, on radio, and online. Hosted by K‑LU, the evening promises over an hour of laughter and good vibes, featuring Elie Souarit, Odile‑Marie, Marthe Gédouin, Thomas Caloone and Georgeuh. Registration required, with voluntary donations to participate.

Following Comedy Club night on Thursday, April 15, the 3Faces collective takes the reins at Jardin21 for an all-DJ evening crafted around groove and transitions with no dead air. Massimo kicks off the set with house, trap, baile and disco, then AnonBeck & Co enlivens a sunset with a rhythm of funk, disco, house, French Touch and tech-house. In the second act, Momo B2B Matis keeps the night going with a vinyl-led heist of music, spanning disco, house, French Touch, ghetto house and tech-house.

Gardening and creative workshops

Saturday, April 11, the garden alternates between gardening, creativity, play, and celebrations. In the morning, it becomes a gardening workshop with two sessions: “Aromatic Blind Test” (2pm–3pm), a playful moment to try to identify the garden’s aromas, and then “Growing Seedlings” (4pm–5pm), a hands‑on activity to lend a helping hand to the gardener and leave with your seedling. These offerings, free with registration, are open to everyone and reflect the venue’s aim of teaching simple, living practices.

Saturday, April 18, 1:30–6:30 p.m., after the gardening workshops, Jardin21 becomes a makers market. Between stalls and demonstrations, you’ll find illustrator Ariane Burgelin, Ilu3615 Potin, illustrator Patrick Cevik, and a booth dedicated to candles, knitting, and handmade jewelry.

For the more crafty among you, the DIY workshop “Which Flower Are You?” awaits. The idea is to head home with a personalized object and a touch of poetry. A donation-based activity.

In the evening, Apéro Notturno, from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m., returns to Jardin21 for the ninth edition of Synth Connection, a retro night focused on Italo, EBM, progressive house and trance from the 80s–90s, powered by a lineup of DJs from across France. The collective donates a portion of its profits to Outrans, a feminist mutual-aid group for trans people, non-binary individuals, and those who are questioning.

A Spring to Experience at Jardin21

Between celebration, creation, gardening, yoga and moments of sharing, this opening weekend perfectly captures the spirit of Jardin21: a hybrid, joyful and welcoming space where people come as much to dance as to learn, unwind, or feed their curiosity.

Jardin21 is open Wednesday through Sunday, with free admission!
