🎶 12 years of Fête de la Musique in Chemnitz 🥳
Fête de la Musique welcomes summer back to the city on June 21 – for the 12 th time! The music festival invites everyone in Chemnitz to join in, listen, dance and enjoy.
On 21 June, a musical program with musicians from various genres and cultural backgrounds will fill in the stages and different street music venues in the city centre: at Fête de la Musique there’s no place without music, dance or performance.
We will publish the entire program in advance on our website so that you know in good time where and when your favorite artists will be performing.
In the spirit of its inventor Jack Lang, the Fête does not charge admission. Nevertheless, you should take your wallet with you for drinks and food at our small food mile. This is where local restaurateurs present themselves and make sure that no one feels hungry nor thirsty.
“Libre à chacun de témoigner par son instrument de musique de sa joie à voir l’été revenir. //
Everyone is free to testify with their musical instrument how happy they are about the return of summer.”
Jack Lang (founder of the Fete de la Musique)
