Welcome to the Fête de la Musique in the Capital of Culture of Chemnitz!
The Fête de la Musique will take place on June 21 from 16 – 22 o’clock in the city center of Chemnitz. Look forward to over 150 musicians and bands in the city center, true to the motto: For Free & Outdoors.
The Fête de la Musique welcomes summer back to the city on June 21 – for the 10th time! The music festival is celebrating its first anniversary this year and to mark the occasion, we naturally want to invite everyone in Chemnitz to join in, listen and enjoy. What’s more, this year it’s all happening on a Friday – giving us twice the reason to make Fête 2024 even bigger and with even more music!
On 21 June, a musical program with musicians from various genres and cultural backgrounds will begin on the stages in the city centre just in time for the end of the day and the start of the weekend. We will publish the entire program in advance on our website so that you know in good time where and when your favorite artists will be performing. In between, spread throughout the entire area of Chemnitz city center, our street musician squares complete the musical program – at the Fête de la Musique there is hardly a place without music, dance or performance.
In keeping with the spirit of its inventor Jack Lang, the Fête does not charge admission. Nevertheless, you should take your wallet with you for drinks and food at our small food mile. This is where restaurateurs from the city present themselves and make sure that nobody has to go hungry.
“Libre à chacun de témoigner par son instrument de musique de sa joie à voir l’été revenir. //
Everyone is free to testify with their musical instrument how happy they are about the return of summer.”
Jack Lang (founder of the Fete de la Musique)
The Fête de la Musique in the cultural region

You are also welcome to use the Chemnitz transport model to visit the cultural region.
You can easily and musically explore the region around Chemnitz with the rail routes to the surrounding area – a connection that invites you to experience and exchange ideas.
