Our article examines free party movements and their users as an answer to the standardization of the urban night world, but also as producing a new type of right to the city and temporary autonomous zones (TAZ). The free party, its users and the territories they generate are understood as a means of combating socio-economic, cultural or clothing discriminations inherent to the commercialization of festive nocturnal places. We analyze the appropriation mechanisms of these festive spaces to lay the foundations for a geographic approach to the urban night, free and festive.
