Launched in 1981 by the Minister for Culture, the Fête de la Musique is a nationwide, day-long celebration of music held every year on 21 June, the summer solstice.
Whilst seeking to maintain the original spontaneity that characterised this festival, the city authorities nonetheless encourage it by setting aside special areas (mostly in the pedestrian zone) and take the necessary steps to ensure public safety (parking, traffic flow, etc.).
