We’re often torn between delighting our taste buds or our ears. Good news: at BigFest, you don’t have to choose. On September 18 and 19, 2026, La Felicità (Paris’s 13th arrondissement) is pulling out all the stops for the 4th edition of its festival, which skillfully blends food and partying, featuring iconic Parisian culinary spots and a tantalizing lineup of DJs. French touch and Italian vibes: we’ll tell you everything—and most importantly, where to grab your tickets before they sell out.
A massive food market that turns into a dance floor
The concept behind BigFest is simple but no less interesting: you go from a plate of food to a dance floor without ever leaving La Felicità. For one weekend, the five food stations and aisles of the food market give way to pop-up stands run by big names in Parisian gastronomy, while a lineup of DJ sets and live performances keeps festivalgoers entertained from lunch until the wee hours of the night.
The food lineup: limited-edition Parisian classics
This year’s culinary lineup is sure to turn heads. For this 4th edition, La Felicità is hosting, among others:
- At Au Pied de Cochon, the iconic Parisian brasserie
- Kodawari Ramen and its ultra-comforting broths
- Le Petit Vendôme, a Parisian sandwich staple
- Angelina Paris, for that luxury pastry touch
- Tang Gourmet by Tang Frères: an invitation to travel through Asian street food
- Alan Geaam, Michelin-starred chef, and his reimagined Lebanese cuisine
- Julien Dugourd, pastry chef at the Mandarin Oriental Paris, for limited-edition creations
All these vendors will be serving their specialties AND exclusive creations, designed specifically for the festival.
A groovy musical lineup
When it comes to music, BigFest never lets up. The lineup kicks off at lunchtime and builds to a crescendo until 3 a.m., with two very distinct nights.
Friday, September 18, kicks off the festivities with Mezerg, Traumer, Corine, Valentino Vivace, Joe Lewandowski, and Valentine Groove.
On Saturday, September 19, the next generation takes the stage with Mind Enterprises, Emma B, Baccus, Stereoclip, Lauren Lo Sung, and the legendary Cerrone, for a closing night that promises to bring the house down at the food market.
