7—11 October 2026
For five days, concerts, performances, encounters, activities and food discoveries take over neighbourhoods across the 18th. The 2026 edition celebrates music not merely as a soundtrack, but as a shared language between generations, amateur practices, artists and cultures. Events unfold across several venues: some are very busy, others more intimate and occasionally require registration.
The festival takes its name from Clos Montmartre, a vineyard replanted in the 1930s and still cared for by City gardeners. Around this history, the celebration gives an important role to associations, residents and local traditions. Check the official programme shortly before attending, as times, venues, access and participation details may change.

The event is not confined to the top of the hill. Read the programme by district and time to build a realistic route that accounts for slopes and crowds.
From contemporary music and brass bands to choirs and intimate formats, the programme spreads through streets, public spaces and cultural venues. Some concerts are free subject to capacity, while others require registration. Arrive early for small venues and check arrangements in case of rain.
Brotherhoods, associations, bands and residents cross the hill in one of the festival’s defining moments. The route attracts large crowds and may cause temporary diversions or closures. Choose a viewing point in advance, keep building entrances clear and follow organisers’ instructions.
Tastings, stalls, workshops and encounters form a largely free celebration. Take time to identify producers and associations, ask where products come from and taste in moderation. Queues can be long at peak times; a water bottle, light bag and patience make the day easier.
