Overview

Gare Grooves is back this summer to get the Gare neighborhood buzzing with a series of free outdoor concerts!

This year, shows will take place every Thursday from 11 June to 30 July 2026. The concept is evolving to feature a programme that blends roaming acts with on-stage concerts, creating an even more immersive musical experience throughout the neighbourhood.

On 25 June and 2 July, a stage will be set up on Place de la Gare, featuring ensembles from the Conservatoire and performers from Proufraim 1831, as in previous years.

Every evening, audiences and passersby were treated to unique musical experiences with a fun and friendly atmosphere!
