Festival Paris l'Eté (Paris Summer Festival)

Shows in Paris and the Île-de-France region featuring dance, theatre and music

The 35th edition of the Paris l'été Festival, created in 1990, welcomes a new artistic direction led by Marie Lenoir and Thomas Quillardet. Together, they will continue to develop the festival's unique identity as a summer event celebrating the performing arts, bold and open to all. They are strengthening the presence of outdoor works in unexpected locations in Paris and Greater Paris. Convinced that urban spaces, monuments and streets are a wonderful playground, this edition reaffirms live performance as a tool for reclaiming the city. Their artistic approach is rooted in generosity, cooperation and collective joy. During this major event, everyone can attend dance performances, plays, concerts and circus shows near monuments, in parks and sometimes indoors. In total, there will be more than 70 free or paid performances in around 30 different venues. A summer event not to be missed!
