Melbourne, get ready to celebrate the start of winter with the ultimate French musical celebration: Fête de la Musique!
Born in Paris in 1982, La Fête de la Musique (also known as World Music Day) completely transforms France every year on June 21st to mark the summer solstice. For one night, all hierarchies in music vanish. The streets, parks, rooftops, and cafés are handed over to the public. Anyone from amateur bedroom guitarists to professional symphony orchestras can set up on the sidewalk and play for free. It is a massive, joyous, nationwide street party celebrating community, expression, and the universal love of music.
We are so excited to support our Aussie version with this incredible event, organised by none other than our very own legendary stallholder, Romain from !
If you love live bands, sing French music, vibrant community vibes, and (knowing Romain) some seriously good energy, you cannot miss this. It’s the perfect way to warm up and get a taste of French culture ahead of our main festival next month!
📅 Saturday, 20 June (5pm) – Sunday, 21 June (1am)
📍 Barrio3205 184 York St, South Melbourne VIC
