Fête de la Musique is an annual event that takes place on 21 June throughout France. On International Music Day, France's Ministry of Culture chooses to honour one musical genre in particular. This year, all forms of jazz are in the spotlight at the Palais-Royal in Paris.
This major celebration, however, is not limited to one genre of music. From up-and-coming DJs performing on the streets to professional choirs singing in parks, visitors can attend concerts to suit every musical taste.
The celebration is accessible to everyone, as the majority of the events are free of charge. Nevertheless, be aware that some performances require pre-registration.
