Fête de la Musique
The citywide open-air festival attracts thousands of visitors every year to welcome the calendrical summer with music.
On over 200 stages and music venues spread across all twelve districts, Berlin musicians provide free concert enjoyment. All musical styles are represented, performed by amateurs and professionals free of charge.
For all! The Fête de la Musique Berlin
The Fête de la Musique 2023 is inclusive! There are two stages for the Fête de la Musique in cooperation with the Special Olympics World Games. At the Brandenburg Gate and on Alexanderplatz, the program will be international, diverse and especially inclusive.
The Fête de la Musique takes the Special Olympics as an opportunity to work together with the music venues, organizers and musicians to make June 21 more inclusive and barrier-free.
Music in hospitals and nursing homes is also intended to bring music to those people who are not or no longer as mobile as others.

The Fête de la Musique - a success story
On the initiative of the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, the Fête de la Musique was held for the first time in Paris in 1982. The basic idea is to strengthen people's enthusiasm for music and at the same time to welcome the summer musically and accessible to all free of charge. The popular festival quickly spreads beyond the country's borders and also reaches Berlin in 1995, where it has since become one of the most popular events in the city's calendar of events.
In addition to the many recurring locations, new stages are added each year. The metropolitan areas with a particularly large number of venues include, for example, the old town of Spandau, Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg or even Unter den Linden.
Since 2018, there has been an annually changing partner district, which is particularly in the focus of the events.
But the program is by no means limited to the official participants - in all public places, streets or even green spaces, spontaneous street music may be made thanks to an exemption permit.
The opportunity is also gladly used by many amateur musicians, who celebrate the most diverse musical styles on the most diverse instruments.
Numerous locations direct their offer especially to families with children, who are invited to sing along, make music and dance.
Fête de la Nuit
If you still feel like partying and listening to music together after the open-air events have ended, then start the late-night program with the Fête de la Nuit.
Around 30 venues such as bars, pubs or clubs move the party indoors from 10 p.m. on night stages.
