Fête de la Musique

An annual tradition here in France to celebrate the summer solstice and take advantage of the longest day of the year is the music festival Fête de la Musique.

Basically a day (and all night) where free concerts and bands can be found playing on just about every street corner and open space in the streets of Paris, and the rest of France. The city of Paris provides the equipment and generators, and encourages musicians of all types of genres, experience, and ages. Much fun to just walk around the city and explore all of the sounds!

For those of you that don't speak French, the name of the event is a clever play on words meaning either "Celebration of the Music", or "Make Some Music". :)
