Ten years after its debut on the Belleville median, the Food Market is celebrating with a full weekend of events. Last night, the opening evening brought together stands, street kitchens and regulars once again in the 20th arrondissement, where it all began. The heart of the event now beats on several fronts. From July 4 to 6, a temporary shop opens on rue d’Eupatoria. Designed as an extension of the Food Market’s world, it brings together objects, limited editions and collaborations led by committed figures of the independent food scene, such as Sho Miyashita and Jordan Moilim. On Saturday July 5, head to the Left Bank for a special edition co-organized with La Grande Épicerie de Paris. On Rue du Bac, in-house artisans — chefs, pastry chefs, bakers — will share the space with vendors from northeast Paris markets, such as Bang Bang or Mehmet. Food stalls, DJ sets, kids’ workshops: a day designed to bring together different audiences and cuisines, and to make street food exist in new spaces.

To discover: La Chambre d’Été by Two Arab Minds and La Table Verte

For the past two days, La Chambre d’Été has taken up residence at 57 rue Charlot. Designed by Two Arab Minds and created with La Table Verte, this spot offers artisanal ice creams, fresh juices and a moment of respite in the heart of Paris. On the tables, Romantic Gangsta awaits your perusal. Recently published by Sofiane El Bekri, the creative mind behind this aesthetic account, the book compiles a collection of personal images and references, questioning how tenderness can interact with the codes of the street and the intimate. All set in a space imagined by the duo Sofia and Raïssa, reflecting a clear idea of hospitality: unpretentious, yet thoughtful.

Where to have fun: At the second edition of Yardland

Second edition, and already a giant in the making. From July 4 to 6, YARDLAND returns to the Hippodrome de Vincennes with a lineup reflecting today’s culture: PartyNextDoor, Theodora, Asake, Latto, Hamza, Uncle Waffles, Laila!, Jwles, 63og, Sahbabi, Yung Nudy, Meryl … Beyond the headliners, it’s the collective architecture of the festival that stands out. Designed as a space for dialogue and creation, YARDLAND brings together a constellation of artists, volunteers, brands, independent media to shape a weekend where music and social commitment go hand in hand. Between shows, visitors can browse young labels’ stalls, emerging magazine kiosks, talks on consent and accessibility. A stage, yes, but also an ecosystem. A space where partying and responsibility meet, and youth’s energy never apologizes for being political.

Where to shop: With Mimouni at Azur Garage

From July 4 to 6, Parisian brand Mimouni returns to Azur Garage to unveil a capsule inspired by its mascot: the dalmatian. The polka-dot pattern, featured through prints, weaves or embossing, runs through each piece like a thread. Two pairs of jeans — each available in raw and soft raw — set the tone, complemented by a skirt and a T-shirt playing with the same dots. All pieces are made in Paris, as part of a local and intentional approach. The artistic direction highlights uniqueness, much like the distinctive dalmatian coat, through spontaneous portraits and slightly offbeat styling. The collection launches Friday July 4 from 4 p.m., with DJ sets, drinks and a raffle. On Saturday: lemonade and music. Sunday: the venue turns into a coffee shop with a tailoring workshop to extend the experience.

Where to party: With Zack Fox at Wanderlust

This Saturday, Wanderlust opens its doors to Zack Fox, an artist from Atlanta whose work blurs the lines between rap, acting and online satire. A former member of Awful Records and frequent collaborator of Kenny Beats, he has carved a unique space in the American cultural landscape. Not quite a musician, not quite a comedian, Zack Fox breaks molds and confuses genres. In Paris, he’ll be behind the decks alongside well-known names like Andy4000, Broodoo Ramses and Groovyhuh. A rare appearance (though he’s been seen in Paris often lately), in a setting that gives him full freedom to do what he does best: surprise.
