Fête de la Musique

Every June 21, the summer solstice brings a unique buzz to the Var coastline. Music lovers and travellers seeking entertainment gather to celebrate music in all its forms. Artists from all horizons, whether emerging talents or established musicians, take over public spaces to offer vibrant, free performances, transforming the region into a huge open-air stage.

The festivities are in full swing in the historic heart of Fréjus as well as in the lively streets of Saint-Raphaël. For a memorable experience, stroll along the seafront shared by these two towns: café terraces, restaurants and squares come alive to the rhythm of jazz, rock, variety and world music.

To make the most of this magical evening, favour walking or public transport from late afternoon onwards, as town centres organise pedestrian zones. It's the perfect opportunity to soak up the Mediterranean art of living, share a convivial moment with family or friends, and extend the evening by the sea in a warm and festive atmosphere.
