Our take on this event
From April 18 to October 25, 2026, the Kiosque en Fête festival transforms the Parc de Choisy, located at 128, avenue de Choisy, into a lively hub of artistic activity. This open-air event series offers free entry to all, providing a diverse schedule that runs throughout the spring and summer months.
The lineup kicks off in late April with Batuc'Active percussion and continues through May with events such as the 121 choir, soul music celebrations, Japanese-themed concerts, and contemporary dance performances. June is particularly busy, featuring everything from Afro-Latin dance parties by La M and Hawaiian Hula traditions to jazz sets and Italian singing for the Fête de la Musique.
As summer progresses, attendees can enjoy pop music and musicals from The Commonweal School, the Oregon Ambassadors of Music, and various guitar or piano recitals. July also brings DJ sets with Open air Toilettes Mixtes, while September and October round off the season with rock concerts and classical performances by the Suzuki Musical Institute.
