The Francos de Montréal festival will stage ten free concerts across the city from June 12 through June 20, 2026. This slate of performances forms part of the event’s 37th edition, marking another year of the annual celebration of francophone music in Montreal, Quebec.
Organisers have announced that all ten shows will be offered at no cost to attendees, reinforcing the festival’s tradition of making francophone culture accessible to a broad audience. The concerts will be spread over the eight‑day period, providing multiple opportunities for residents and visitors to experience live performances without a ticket price barrier. By keeping the events free, the festival aims to encourage participation from diverse neighborhoods and age groups throughout the city.
The Francos de Montréal festival, now in its 37th year, continues to serve as a focal point for French‑language music, showcasing a range of styles that reflect the city’s linguistic heritage. Over the course of the June program, the ten concerts will contribute to a larger schedule of activities that typically includes workshops, artist talks and additional paid shows. The free‑concert initiative underscores the festival’s commitment to fostering a vibrant cultural scene and reinforcing Montreal’s reputation as a hub for francophone artistic expression.
