Aaaah the Fête de la Musique! What great memories, right? This year, the one that officially marks the beginning of summer, celebrates its 40th anniversary. Free concerts, highlighting amateur groups, festive street parades... All levels and all genres come together in harmony for one evening. It's truly the event that everyone agrees on. As you may have guessed, at Bonbon, we love celebrating music. That's why we've decided to be the happy partners of the event, to offer you the best plans for June 21. Good times ahead! 

The Ball of the Insane at the Mobilier National

Shall we go to the masquerade ball? To conclude the exhibition The Insane and celebrate music in style, the Mobilier National is organizing a very special ball. Get ready with your most beautiful masks, as we will dance under the turntables while enjoying the exhibition until 11 p.m. On-site, Rima Abdul-Malak, Minister of Culture, and Hervé Lemoine, President of the Mobilier National, will open the ball.

Special Evening with Radio France

Radio France is preparing, as usual, a great program for the Music Festival. France Inter at the Olympia, FIP at the Arènes de Lutèce, France Musique at Studio 104, Viva l'Orchestra at the Auditorium... The entire capital will be covered by the coolest French radio. The added bonus? This year, the establishment of a "Radio France Bus" will roam the streets of Paris. This truck with house and disco sounds, will let Young Pulsa take over the turntables to liven up the whole capital. From Pont Grenelle, to the Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, passing through the Institute of the Arab World... Open your eyes and ears wide: impossible to miss it.
