World Music Day is Celebrated on June 21.

Important Days

World Music Day, affectionately known as ‘FĂȘte de la Musique’, is a global celebration that takes place annually in June to promote music and its universal language. On this special day, musicians from all corners of the world come together to perform in public spaces, sharing their talents and passion for music. The purpose of World Music Day is to provide a platform for both professional and amateur artists to express themselves through their craft, under the inspiring tagline “Faites de la musique,” which translates to “Make music.” This day commemorates the transformative power of music, bringing people together and fostering a sense of community and unity.


      The concept of World Music Day originated in France in 1981, when Jack Lang, the French Ministry of Culture, along with music composer Maurice Fleuret, and a radio producer and music journalist, proposed the idea of dedicating a day to music. The first FĂȘte de la Musique took place in Paris in 1982, with over 1,000 musicians performing throughout the city.
