LA MUSIQUE FREE
In North America, the Make Music Alliance, with support from NAMM Foundation, facilitates over 80 June 21st celebrations.Īll Make Music Day events are free and open to the public. In the same way that the French Fête de la Musique celebrates the start of the summer season, Make Music Day extends an invitation to celebrate across the United States and promotes hundreds of artists of all genres and backgrounds in the process. Three decades later, the holiday has spread throughout the world and is now celebrated in more than 120 countries. Almost 8% of the country (5 million people) have played an instrument or sung in public for the Fête de la Musique. The Fête has turned into a true national holiday: France shuts down on the summer solstice and musicians take over. (In French, the name means both “festival of music” and “make music!”)Īmazingly enough, this dream has come true. The event would take place on the summer solstice, June 21, and would be called Fête De La Musique. They imagined a day where free, live music would be everywhere: street corners and parks, rooftops and gardens, store fronts and mountaintops.Īnd, unlike a typical music festival, anyone and everyone would be invited to join and play music, or host performances.
In 1982, France’s Ministry of Culture dreamed up an idea for a new kind of musical holiday. This year it features an exciting, creative and diverse lineup of both virtual and in-person music-making events that will immerse and enthrall participants while spotlighting music's power to connect, comfort, unite and uplift.Įach year, over 1,000 cities around the world throw citywide music celebrations on June 21. It all started 39 years ago in France. Make Music Day is the annual global celebration of music held on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year: June 21.
