June is such a joyful month! Synonymous with sunshine, the arrival of summer, long warm evenings, and memorable celebrations… It’s also 30 days to fill with things to do in the Pink City. Discover our selection of cultural events, concerts, and activities that will take over Toulouse in June 2026.
The Rio Loco Festival returns from June 10 to 14, 2026, to set the end of spring ablaze.

Forget traditional concerts: on June 5 and 6, the sky over Toulouse becomes a true open-air stage with the DroneArt Show, an immersive spectacle that blends cutting-edge technology and live music. Above the Toulouse Stadium, hundreds of light-up drones soar into the night sky to form spectacular shapes (flowers, constellations, living tableaux) perfectly synchronized with a live performance of The Four Seasons. The result: a totally mesmerizing sensory experience, halfway between an open-air concert and a futuristic visual performance. Already sold out in many cities around the world, this event is shaping up to be one of the must-see events of June.
