Open Air Events without the Price Tag

The months from May to September are full of festivals, street parties, folk festivals and concerts - all under the open summer sky, of course. And some are even free. Here are some tips for concerts and dance evenings, all of which take place in the open air and don't cost admission.

At the Fête de la Musique , amateurs and professionals perform on public streets, squares and parks. You can hear pretty much all genres of music.
