It's one of the major cultural events of the new season in Île-de-France: Saint-Germain en Live is back for its 6th edition just 30 minutes from central Paris! As every year, the festival transforms the town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye into a true open-air theater, for five days of celebration, art and culture. An event to celebrate creativity in all its forms… and extend summer just a little bit longer.
Culture at every corner
Five days to discover artists, be surprised by a performance around the corner, share moments with loved ones in front of an original show… From concert halls to town squares, through the city's streets and gardens, Saint-Germain-en-Laye welcomes an exceptional music and dance program, bringing together both renowned artists and emerging talents as well as cultural players from the region. The idea? To discover, experience and share culture

When it comes to headliners, the festival showcases the eclecticism of the French-speaking scene. You'll find the unstoppable Philippe Katerine, who this time swaps his quirky charm for the soaring sounds of a symphony orchestra, plus Pony Pony Run Run, Jérémy Frérot, the Franco-Armenian duo Ladaniva and the virtuosoof Italian jazz Antonio Faraò.
Dance, shows and music
Dance also sets up shop in Saint-Germain-en-Laye during the festival ! With The Hungry Ones, choreographer Marion Motin delivers an energetic creation, while Mehdi Kerkouche invites the audience to join the circle with 360, an unprecedented participatory performance that promises to thrill spectators. And because the festival loves to think big, the city streets become immense open-air stages : theatrical installations, a tribute to Miles Davis, classical melodies… so many encounters that appear around every corner and transform the city into an artistic playground.

And when the shows take their final bow, there's no question of heading home. The festival continues with Bars in Live: throughout the weekend, the partner establishments of Saint-Germain en Live take over and welcome DJ sets and musicians. A joyful way to extend the vibe, sip a drink with music, and keep the party going a little longer.
