Spring has arrived, and that means the open-air events are back, and we couldn't be more excited! The afternoon and evening sun, a little drink with friends, some dancing when night falls... These unique, ephemeral spaces bring joy to our summer season every year. Some of them are kicking off as early as April, so let’s take a look at the must-see open-air events!


Jardin 21 

This is one of the mainstays of Parisian open-air events. Located in the 19th arrondissement, Jardin 21 shines as that spot of greenery and celebration that you just can't miss once the sunny days are back. When does it return? On April 2, 2026, lasting until September 27. Like every year, the classic favorites are back: gardening workshops, quiz nights, stand-up comedy, and bingo...

Yoga classes ; outdoor screenings ; and of course, DJ sets from Thursday to Saturday—and sometimes on Sundays too! We've also added some exciting new features: a book club; poetry readings and writing workshops ; second-hand markets ; music listening sessions and lecture series ; a residency called “Check&Mates” with DJ sets and chess ; and most importantly, a new food offer that will make your mouth water.
