There are many June events in Albion. This post is about one day in June – the longest day of the year, June 21, known as the Summer Solstice. There are other names for this day in Albion, and around the world, including Fête de la Musique or World Day of Music.

Albion’s Fête de la Musique tradition began years ago with the leadership of Sue Marcos, the President of the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce who began our Sister City program with Noisy-le-Roi in France. Below is a quick recap of June 21 events. In the gallery below, click thru to see historical photos, and videos from earlier years.
