In 2024, World Music Day will take place on Friday, June 21st. This date was specifically chosen as the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, marking the longest day and shortest night of the year. The summer solstice has been celebrated in many cultures throughout history as a time of renewal, joy and community bonding.
Aligning World Music Day with the summer solstice taps into this celebratory spirit and brings people together on the longest day of light. Every year, June 21st unites music lovers worldwide as they gather for free concerts, street performances, musical flash mobs, and community singalongs.
The first World Music Day was launched in France in 1982 by the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang. He envisioned this holiday as a way to make music accessible to the wider public and to encourage amateur musicians to perform in the streets. World Music Day's motto was “Make music, not war.”
Since then, World Music Day has been adopted by over 120 countries as a time to celebrate the unifying power of music. It is based on the following ideals:
