Every June 21st, the world unites for World Music Day (Fête de la Musique). Public spaces transform into stages for over 1,000 musicians in Paris alone, showcasing the incredible diversity of music with classical orchestras, rock bands, and DJs.
French Minister of Culture Jack Lang envisioned a day celebrating music everywhere in 1981. That dream became reality in 1982, with the first Parisian festival's resounding success
