Sue Marcos, President of the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce, from 1985- 2009 was responsible for Albion’s robust Sister City relationship with Noisy-le-Roi, France. Albion started its own Fête de la Musique the first year the event came to the United States, in 2006.
Kelly Kidder, on the bass custom guitar at left, performs at the 2008 Fête de la Musique in Albion. This location is the same block where a decade later the new Courtyard by Marriott hotel now stands.
There are opportunities for everyone to make music, including a barrel drum set, and an outdoor piano.
Jim Stuart, far left, playing trumpet, is the owner of Stirling Books and Brew, and the organizer of the newly revived Fête de la Musique Albion.

The finale for Albion’s Make Music Day takes place by the big Coca Cola mural, with a view of the River and a sing-along. Be there at 9:15 p.m. on the first day of Summer, June 21.
