[France] Fête de la musique (June 21nd)
Amigo97
Fête de la musique or World Music Day is a French music festival celebrated on the longest day of the year (June 21), sometimes a few days earlier or later. It is celebrated throughout France in squares and streets, but also in public buildings such as post offices, mairies and in hotels, schools, universities, hospitals and even prisons.
A special music presentation is given in many municipalities in France. Especially in the big cities, where music is made in several places, this can sometimes lead to spectacles.
In Paris, for example, music was once played in the most bizarre places. Not only in squares and streets, but also in post offices, hotels, schools, universities, hospitals, yes even in prisons. For twenty-two hours a 'peniche' (barge) sailed on the Seine, on which music was played.
