Nuit Blanche 2025 (June 7 to 8)
You haven't truly experienced Paris as the “City of Lights” if you've never been to Nuit Blanche! Translated as the 'White Night' in English, this is the one night of the year when the entire city stays up late. A festival of lights takes over the most beautiful
central neighborhoods in Paris, putting forth amazing parties, awesome performances, and the hottest raves. The city's artists also set up all sorts of light installations and bright artworks for all the world to see. It's one big annual party that you shouldn't miss!
Paris Rare Books & Graphic Arts Fair (June 13 to 15)
Paris doesn't get enough credit as a bibliophilic city. People here love to read! They do it in the charming cafes along cobbled streets, at the beautiful parks, and of course, at home in their own
luxury apartments in Paris as well. Hence, it's no wonder events like the Salon du Livre Rare & des Arts Graphiques (Paris Rare Books & Graphic Arts Fair) always get a lot of fanfare. This year's edition is dedicated to books, novels, and other works written by Quebec authors. You'll want to explore this oasis of reading this June 35 to 15, 2025, at Le Carreau du Temple on Rue Eugene Spuller.
Champs-Élysées Film Festival (June 17 to 27)
The Cannes Film Festival may be France's premier annual movie industry event, but the French capital is not one to be outdone. The city still has the Champs-Élysées Film Festival, a ten-day event that will highlight French and American short films. These sorts of features tend to be overlooked by the industry at large, so these sorts of film festivals offer them the right platform for all the world to see. Naturally, most of the screenings will take place in the
Champs-Élysées district, namely in the Gaumont Champs-Élysées, the Publicis, the Balzac, the UGC Normandy, and the Lincoln.
Fête de la Musique (June 21)
Remember how music fans will have the time of their lives in Paris this June 2025? That's partly because Fête de la Musique will take place throughout the city's major squares on June 21, 2025. This specific date is expected to be the longest day of the year, so you just know that it will be a marathon of awesome performances and electrifying live music! The list of performers is yet to be released, but expect many familiar names, from French music icons and established acts to emerging talents you have to know about!
La Défense Jazz Festival 2025 (June 23 to 27)
If Fête de la Musique won't be enough to satisfy the musicophile in you, there's always the La Défense Jazz Festival from June 23 to 27, 2025. Taking place in the city's main business districts right by the
Paris suburbs in the Hauts-de-Seine department, it's an entire weekend extravaganza dedicated to the soulful genre. Beloved acts like Angélique Kidjo, Jalen Ngonda, and Sampa The Great will take to the stage at La Défense Esplanade, serenading both audience members and spectators alike. It's not the biggest jazz festival in the city, but it's undoubtedly one of the best!
Summer Sales (Begins on June 25)
Shopaholics, rejoice! The Paris Summer Sales are slated to begin on June 25, 2025. This is one of the best times to shop till you drop in the famed French fashion capital, as the entire city, including some of the most luxurious
department stores in Paris, will offer amazing deals and discounts. It's a relatively rare chance to get your hands on pieces from Chanel, Dior, Chloe, Valentino, Armani, Gucci, and more at a fraction of the retail cost. They might still be pricey even with the discounts—these are still designer brands, after all—but you might just be able to afford them during this time!
Paris Pride Parade (June 28)
It's not exactly a good time for the LGBTQ+ community right now, but it's no time to hide! Now more than ever, members of the community have to rally up, come together, and show that they deserve to exist and have the same rights as everyone else. That's why
Pride Month in Paris this June 2025 is bound to be one of the biggest this year. The event itself is already under attack in numerous places around the world, so it's important that one of the major metropolises, which has always been the most welcoming to queer folks, put on a fabulous parade this June 28, 2025!
La Fête Foraine des Tuileries (Begins Late June)
If you ever needed a reason to visit Paris's famous Jardin des Tuileries in the
1st arrondissement, let it be the upcoming La Fête Foraine des Tuileries. Translated as the park's 'fun fair' in English, it's a full-blown carnival for the entire family and beyond. Here, you can go on thrilling rides, play fun games, dance to live music, and eat snacks to your heart's content in what's generally regarded as the main park in Paris. It's quite something to have all of this fun set against the breathtaking beauty of this famous green space. It may even be a great date idea with your special someone!
You'll want to be in Paris this June 2025! The city has a lot in store, from concerts from the likes of Beyoncé and Billie Eilish to all sorts of exciting festivals. You wouldn't want to miss all the action in one of the most beautiful cities in the world!
