World Music Day in Paris
 
Has anyone been to this before? It's held every year on the 21st of June (longest day of the year) and is free. It is also held in other countries. I'm trying to find some information or english websites that would show where concerts are being played, names of artists playing, etc. Or is it more of a "just roam the streets and follow your ears" type of concert?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Just roam the streets and follow your ears.

You don't have to speak French to figure out most of this website:

It's Fete de la Musique. It is not "World Music Day", that isn't the way that translates.

Thanks! "The Fête de la Musique, also known as World Music Day, is a music festival taking place on June 21, which is the northern Solstice, all over the world"

I know it doesn't translate to World Music Day, but just wanted to short cut it. We googled our Arrondissement and found some celebrations going on in local parks and schools and up at Monmartre. So, Kerouac, we will follow our ears!
