The Fête de la Musique makes its grand return on Friday, June 21, 2024. For this occasion, amateur and professional musicians take to the streets to make music resound live. Every year, good deals, artists, classical and electro concerts and unusual events flock to Paris and the rest of the Île-de-France region. The result? Every June 21, you'll find yourself lost in the midst of all these free concerts, and you won't know where to go. Don't panic, we've got a little help for the 42nd anniversary of the Fête de la Musique. Here, we reveal the best music hotspots in the Latin Quarter !
By the way, do you know the history of the Fête de la Musique and how it came about? The Fête de la Musique was created in 1982 on the initiative of the French Ministry of Culture. That year, the Ministry of Culture's studies and research department conducted a major survey of French cultural practices. It revealed that five million people, including one young person in two, play a musical instrument. So Jack Lang, architect and scenographer Christian Dupavillon, a member of his Cabinet, and Maurice Fleuret came up with the idea of a major popular event to enable all musicians to express themselves and make themselves known. The very first Fête de la Musique was launched on June 21 1982, the symbolic day of the summer solstice.
For a successful fête de la musique in the historic district of Paris, here are the best ideas not to be missed on June 21, 2024 in the Latin Quarter !
