The annual Paris Summer Festival enchants the capital during the summer season. From July 11 to August 4, 2026, at various locations in Paris (and even further in the suburbs), you can discover a high-quality cultural program featuring dance, circus, theater, installations, and music!
Whether you prefer theater, dance, concerts, installations, or performances, the Paris Summer Festival is sure to delight you. Formerly known as the Paris Quartier d’Été, the festival was renamed over 10 years ago when Laurence de Magalhaes and Stéphane Ricordel took over its direction. While the name changed, the programming standards remained the same.
This year, the festival celebrates interdisciplinary openness. With over fifteen partner venues, from the Grand Palais to the Palais de la Porte Dorée, there is a wide range of events to experience across Paris, including locations such as the Louvre, Vincennes Woods, and more.
The festival offers a diverse range of activities, including theater, music, dance, circus, drag shows, cabaret, and more. Events are scheduled throughout Paris and even in the suburbs, with some being free to attend.
