Fête de la Musique
June 21 · Level 10 · #113 of 2238
France’s Fête de la Musique turns public spaces into an open-air stage. Free performances bring professional and amateur musicians together, inviting everyone to enjoy live music or join in with an instrument of their own.
How it is celebrated: performers set up in courtyards, parks, squares and outside cafés. Audiences wander between locations, discovering different genres and unexpected musical combinations along the way.
The name contains a spoken invitation: Fête de la Musique sounds exactly like Faites de la musique, French for “make music”.
