Each time, we are told that the weather will be fine. We've almost resigned ourselves to having lousy weather. That said, that's not going to stop us from going out on Wednesday June 21, 2023 for the 41st anniversary of the Fête de la Musique. And since it's better to be prepared, we opt for the top ideas for a dry Fête de la Musique in Paris.
But what is the Fête de la Musique? A popular and free musical event, the Fête de la Musique was created in 1982 on the initiative of the Ministry of Culture. That year, the studies and research department of the Ministry of Culture conducted a major survey on the cultural practices of the French. It was discovered that five million people, including one young person out of two, play a musical instrument. From then on, Jack Lang, Christian Dupavillon, architect-scenographer, member of his Cabinet and Maurice Fleuret imagined a great popular event with the objective of allowing all musicians to express themselves and to be known. The very first Fête de la Musique was launched on June 21, 1982, the symbolic day of the summer solstice.
And it was a great success, since that year, many musicians set up everywhere in the streets, squares, kiosks, courtyards, gardens, train stations, and squares to play their music.
It was in 1985 that the Fête de la Musique began to be exported, on the occasion of the European Year of Music In 2017, more than 120 countries in the world participated in the Fête de la Musique!
So, in case it rains on Wednesday, June 21 in Paris, here are the good plans to spend a Fête de la Musique 2023 under cover!
