The first day of Summer, Friday, June 21, 5-9pm
Albion’s Fete de la Musique
Fête de la Musique ( World Day of Music) has been celebrated in Albion Michigan since 2005. Albion’s sister city, Noisy-Le-Roi in France helped us to get this celebration going.
Musicians come and share their musical gifts for free, and there is no admission.
The first day of summer is chosen as a day on which the world celebrates the magical gift of music. Promotes music as the universal language.
People gather along the sidewalks, inside the local businesses, or in the parks along our downtown to play music. Everyone celebrates music. From recorders to accordians, band instruments to string instruments, drums made out of buckets, or kids blowing kazoos, we welcome all to participate where and when they can.
World Day of Music is celebrated all over the world and music connects us all.

Fête de la Musique has been taking place in Albion for years. The Albion Fête de la Musique started in 2005, and was one of the Sister City programs started by Sue Marcos, the President of the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce at that time and a dual citizen of the United States and France.
