Paris events in chronological order

This is a selective planning calendar, not a scraped directory. An entry appears only when an official organiser, venue or public authority has published a date. A date is not a promise of ticket availability: always re-check the linked source before booking non-refundable travel.

How to use the calendar

Separate a public festival from an industry event

Paris Fashion Week shapes the city’s hotel, restaurant and transport demand, but most runway shows are not public-ticket attractions. IFTM, SIAL and EquipHotel are professional fairs. Their tourism value is real, yet access conditions matter.

Plan around venue geography

Grand Palais events sit in central Paris; Paris Nord Villepinte is near Charles de Gaulle but outside the centre; Stade de France is in Saint-Denis; Paris La Défense Arena is west of Paris. The venue can change the sensible hotel area and transfer time.

Editorial rule: a calendar date is marked confirmed only when a primary source publishes it. “To be announced” information stays out until the organiser confirms it.
