Disney Music Festival kicked off at Disneyland Paris this month. The brand-new event celebrates the music of Disney Animation and Pixar with live performances across Disneyland Park.
Disney Music Festival 2025
Disney Music Festival runs through September 7, 2025, coinciding with Fête de la Musique — World Music Day — an annual nationwide celebration of music, celebrated in France on June 21. The lineup includes four live concerts and eight musical encounters featuring Disney and Pixar characters and a diverse range of musical styles, including classical, pop, folk, rock, and electronic.
Each performance at Disney Music Festival is the result of meticulous work carried out in close collaboration between Disneyland Paris’ creative teams and live musicians—such as those from Disney Music Hits Concert—ensuring the emotional power of the storytelling from Disney Animation and Pixar’s timeless classics is fully conveyed. Thanks to the expertise of Disneyland Paris’ music teams, these iconic pieces have been rearranged, offering visitors a fresh rediscovery through contemporary soundscapes.
Guillaume Coignard, Music Producer at Disneyland Paris
Each land has its own unique musical moment: Miguel’s Fiesta Latina in Frontierland, Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band in Town Square, Moana and her Musicians in Adventureland, Rapunzel and Flynn in Fantasyland, and the Meet Stitch experience in Discoveryland.
An original composition, “Viva la Musique,” was recorded for the festival. It’s adapted into different styles for use throughout the festival.
Disney Music Festival merchandise includes a travel mug, a tie-dye T-shirt, and a Mickey conductor headband. Special food inspired by the concerts and shows will be available at food stalls. These include Chip & Dale brookies, Daisy Duck’s vanilla and strawberry milkshake with a glazed donut, and popcorn served in buckets inspired by Minnie and Mickey’s outfits.
Disney Music Festival draws inspiration from what makes music so powerful: its ability to bring all generations together in a shared wave of emotion. Just like at music festivals, everyone can feel the beat of Disney and Pixar melodies, whether they are spectators or participants in this unique celebration, where music becomes a universal language full of memories.
