A flagship urban cultural event that runs 18–21 June, the Fête de la Musique transforms downtown Liège and its periphery with emerging and established musicians performing across the city's four corners. This 2026 edition marks the first celebration since Liège was designated UNESCO City of Music in October 2025, the second Belgian city to receive this distinction after Ghent, celebrating the richness and collective engagement of the local music scene. 100% free concerts at over 20 venues across downtown and periphery including Les Chiroux cultural centre, Place des Carmes, Parc des Musiques, Opéra Royal de Wallonie, OPRL, Thrinkhall/Mad café, and churches
