Around the Old Port

If you’re in the Old Port this June 21, come and enjoy the warm, festive atmosphere in one of the many Irish pubs on the Quai de Rive Neuve, from the Little Temple Bar to the Shamrock, you’ll be spoilt for choice! The Queen Victoria, the only English pub in the area, is not to be outdone! You’re sure to find a party atmosphere in this corner of the Old Port!
If you prefer the Deep blu party at the Radisson blu, don’t forget your swimwear! If you’d rather take in the sights, head to the Citadelle for an evening under the stars, on Fort Entrecasteaux, where you’ll be in awe of the panorama before you. Reservations required, so hurry!

Downtown

In the Docks Village area of La Joliette, La Place des Canailles hosts a crazy Flower power atmosphere, with body painting and a glitter bar, accompanied by a saxophone concert and a DJ who will keep you dancing until 2am. Afrohouse fans should head to R2,Rooftop des Terrasses du Port for an unforgettable Mamacita evening. If you prefer to stay on the rooftops and enjoy a great meal, head to Les Réformés !

Too much for you? Prefer something more classic? We’ve got that in Marseille too! Head to theOpérade Marseille, where the Ecole Nationale de Danse presents a fabulous ballet, Swan Lake.

If you want to travel, come and vibrate to sounds from Africa and elsewhere on the Toit Terrasse of La Friche la Belle de Mai, where you’ll be swaying to Afro-Rock and funk sounds. For an Argentinian Tango vibe, we’ll be at theItalianInstitute (Rue Fernand Pauriol, 5th arrondissement) from 5.30pm – and yes, Italians dance Tango too! At the Alcazar library, you’ll plunge into Indonesia from 5.30pm with a traditional Balinese percussion ensemble, and discover the gamelan (percussion ensemble).

If you head a little further up towards Place Castellane, pass through Cours Gouffé and enjoy a craft beer at Zoumaï’s to groovy, soulful and rocking rhythms, with a concert starting at 6pm. A little higher up, in the heights of the Vauban district, at the foot of Notre-Dame de la Garde, take a stroll through this typical neighborhood and enjoy an evening of music at Maison Vauban with a DJ from the Marseilles scene.

On the Cours Julien

The Cours Julien district in the heart of the city is THE place to be for parties and music, and if there’s one place to go that day, this is it. This unmissable district is home to a host of bars and restaurants. Take a stroll between Place Notre Dame du Mont, Place Jean-Jaures and Cours Julien , and let your imagination run wild.
La Dame du Mont offers a rich and varied program, as well as homemade cocktails, to get us in the summer mood! Still on the Place Notre-Dame du Mont, the Red Lion Down Town is a Marseillaise version of the English Pub, where the whole team is on hand to celebrate the arrival of summer with music! Not far away, in the same British spirit, you’ll find Le Morrison’s.
