 | The Fête de la Musique, also known as World Music Day, is a music festival which began in Europe but is now international. The Fête de la Musique is one of the only nights of the year where, under French law, there is no noise restriction. The musicians can play all night without fear of neighbors calling the police. |
| Los Angeles will make music history with the first-ever Make Music Pasadena, a Fete de la Musique event, taking place on World Music Day and the summer solstice, Saturday, June 21, 2008, from 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Held in more than 250 cities in over 100 countries, Fete de la Musique is the largest musical celebration in the world, and Pasadena, one of the top cultural and civic destinations in the Los Angeles area, is bringing this international phenomenon to the West Coast for the very first time. Initiated in France in 1982, the World Music Day is traditionally a fiesta, which since inception, has spread to more than 250 cities in over 100 countries where the occasion is marked every June 21. The event aims to popularize music among people from all walks of life. It also creates opportunities for people to communicate with each other through music. Make Music Pasadena is a FREE musical celebration throughout the main districts in Pasadena, including Old Pasadena, One Colorado, the Playhouse District, and throughout the city. On that day, sidewalks, parks, courtyards, alleys, building lobbies and other unconventional performance spaces will become spontaneous musical stages and social gathering places. Amateur musicians will bring their musical talents to the streets of Pasadena and perform to new crowds. Top selling and internationally known artists will perform at FOUR themed main stages. What better way to jump start the summer than by dancing in the streets, throughout the day, to these wonderful music performances. All performances are free and open to the public. The purpose of Make Music Pasadena is to encourage the community to find their inner artistic talents, and to unite them with new audiences. From professional musicians performing on main stages, to amateur musicians taking to the streets to showcase their talents, to people whistling while they walk, our mission is to encourage the community to Make Music where ever and how ever they can. Event: Fête de la Musique 2008 Date: June 21 (Saturday), 2008. 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. One of the Locations: Pasadena Los Angeles County California |
