Paris in Celebration: Must-See Events in Spring and Summer 2026

In Paris, the warmer days carry an energy all their own. From spring onward, the city comes alive with a series of iconic events, from popular festivities and cultural nights to great moments of collective celebration.

Here are a few key dates for the months ahead:

From Friday, March 27 to Monday, May 25, 2026

Foire du Trône

A Parisian institution and one of the oldest funfairs in Europe, the Foire du Trône blends a festive spirit, iconic attractions, and a gentle sense of nostalgia. A joyful outing to enjoy with family or friends, and a chance to experience a more spontaneous, lively side of Paris.

Location: Pelouse de Reuilly – Porte Dorée, Paris 12th arrondissement

For one evening, museums open their doors free of charge and offer a different way of experiencing art. In Paris, it is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover major collections in an atmosphere that feels more intimate, almost suspended in time.
