Beyond the Main Stage, FêtePH2026 will feature a month-long calendar of music-centered events.
The festival opens on June 10 with “Music Heals,” a wellness and sound healing initiative highlighting the therapeutic benefits of music. French pianist Maxime Zecchini will then stage performances at The Writer’s Bar in Raffles Makati on June 14 and at Alliance Française de Manille on June 15.

“Fête de la Musique has evolved into a true ‘community of communities,’ uniting artists and music lovers from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,” Olivier Dintinger, Executive Director of Alliance Française de Manille, said.
“This 32nd edition belongs entirely to the people. By keeping the festival completely free and expanding our footprint nationwide, we are celebrating not just the universal language of music, but the vibrant, community-led spirit that makes the Philippine music scene so extraordinary.”
The June 20 to 21 festivities will also feature the Taste of France French Market along Paseo de Roxas, offering French food, wine, and artisanal products.
FêtePH2026 is presented by Alliance Française de Manille in partnership with the Embassy of France to the Philippines and Funkybeat Entertainment, alongside government agencies, cultural institutions and private-sector partners.
