What is Fête de la Musique?
La Fête de la Musique, also known as Music Day, is an annual music festival celebrated in France and over 100 countries worldwide. This widely embraced national occasion offers a diverse range of musical genres, giving an appealing impact to audiences of all kinds, and is accessible to everyone at no cost.
In the Philippines, the country is the first to feature NFT worldwide in the concert series to support its theme of ocean conservation.
“Each island has its own culture with distinct sounds and characteristics. But despite that, we are connected through the oceans the same way that music connects us all across the world,” the theme of La Fête de la Musique PH read.
All throughout the month of June, music lovers in the Philippines can look forward to a series of exciting events organized by Fête de la Musique.
