Le mot du jour : La Fête de la Musique
Today I am not going to explain an expression but I will talk about a festival.
“La fête de la musique” (Music Festival or Make Music Day) happens everywhere in France on the 21st of June, since 1981.
On that day, anyone can go outside in the streets and play music. Lots of concerts happen spontaneously at every corner of streets, in bars, parks, car parks…
Not every musician is good, but all of them are enthusiastic and that is what I particularly love about that festival. It is a very nice day and one of my favourite festival in France. And it is all entirely free!
You can find all genres of music from classic to heavy metal, jazz to hip hop, pop and world music…
Obviously this year, because of the pandemic, the festival was quieter than usual, but if in the future you find yourself in France for the 21st of June, just wander along the streets and enjoy!😊
