About this event
Rhizomes marks 25 years as a nomadic, entirely free world-music festival, moving between parks, squares and canal banks across northern Paris. The closing weekend brings Télamuré, Ljuba de Angelis and DJ La Louuve to the Port de Pantin on Saturday afternoon, then a floating concert with Les Balades Extraordinaires on Sunday. A hundred artists from twenty countries across the edition.
Why we picked it
A quarter-century-old free festival with real curatorial weight — maloya, Mandinka music, Maghrebi electro — played outdoors on the canal in the priority week.
Free entry
Free entry, no reservation, per the Ville de Paris. Two edition dates carried charges (Parc Floral 19 July, and the €5 return shuttle to Villarceaux on 26 July); the Port de Pantin concert is free.
