Sunday June 21, 2026, the collective “Faites de la musique†sets up on rue Julien-Lacroix, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, for a set between American house, Brazilian rhythms and club culture.
Créée en 1982 à l’initiative du Ministry of Culturethe Music Festival is based on a simple idea: to bring music out of the places where we expect it, to make it live everywhere. Every June 21streets, squares, parks, cafés, building courtyards or more institutional stages welcome amateur musicians, established artists, DJs, choirs and groups of all styles. The event was imagined as a fête ouvertefree and non-directive, intended to bring together all those for whom music matters.
In Paris, this day often transforms the city into great sound walk : you can come across a marching band, a few meters further on a rock group, then follow a bass line to an improvised DJ set. The Music Festival thus maintains a popular and accessible mission: encourage musical practiceencourage meetings and remember that music can also be listened to while standing, walking, dancing or singing with your neighbors.
For the 2026 edition, the rue Julien-Lacroixin the 20th arrondissement, welcomes the collective “Make music†the Sunday June 21of 14h30 à 19h. Located on the heights of Bellevillethis street belongs to a long-popular district, marked by its relief, its passages, its workshops, its cafés and its history of welcome. The route bears the name of Julien Lacroix, former owner of land on Belleville hill, and was created in 1868.
The announced program takes the form of a musical journey around the roots of club culture. The collective promises to avoid a set that is too linear to construct a journey that is both chronological and geographical. First step: the United Stateswith a selection of original house, between the raw rhythms of Chicago, the depth of Detroit and the vocal energy of New York. A useful reminder: house was born in clubs, with songs designed for the dancefloor, bodies in motion and long progressions.
