World Music Day, celebrated annually on June 21st, is dedicated to the power and beauty of music. The idea of World Music Day known as Fete de la Musique (festival of music) originated in 1982 in France when the Ministry of Culture proposed a day for celebrating music and encouraging amateur and professional musicians to perform in public spaces. This annual event serves as a reminder of music's ability to heal, connect, uplift moods, and make our lives easier. It is a day when people from all walks of life come together to appreciate and revel in the magic of music.
