About Fête de la Musique

On the longest day of the year, Friedberg's old town becomes a stage: At the Fête de la Musique, musicians perform on squares, in courtyards, cafés, and gardens – for no fee, with a hat for donations. The car-free city center of the Bavarian-Swabian town of Friedberg transforms into a lively, free music festival for the summer solstice.

Music for the Summer Solstice

The Fête de la Musique in Friedberg is the grand celebration of music on the longest day of the year. Friedberg, in the district of Aichach-Friedberg in the Bavarian state of Bavaria, has been participating in this worldwide music festival, which originated in France in the early 1980s, since 2015. The next event will take place on Sunday, June 21, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

The Entire City Center Becomes a Stage

Numerous performance venues are set up throughout the city center: Hafnergarten, Archivhof, a bar area, Café BinenStich, the Verwaltungshof, Platzhirsch, die Laterne, St.-Jakobs-Platz, various cafés, Wittelsbacher Castle, and Ludwigstraße. This creates a dense network of sound spaces for visitors to stroll through.

No Fee, With a Hat

The musicians and bands perform without a fee and appreciate contributions to their hat. This principle makes the Fête de la Musique an open, accessible festival that thrives on the artists' joy of playing and the audience's attention.

Car-Free Old Town

For the festival, the city center is completely closed to traffic – from Friedberger Berg or Bauernbräustraße to Ludwigstraße, from 3:00 PM on June 21st until 7:00 AM the following day. This allows the music to spread undisturbed through alleys, courtyards, and squares.
