🎶 What started in France more than 40 years ago has grown into a global celebration of music in over 1,000 cities around the world.

Known as Fête de la Musique (Make Music Day), this annual event transforms streets, parks, storefronts, rooftops, and public spaces into stages where anyone can perform and everyone is invited to enjoy free live music.

We're excited to bring this tradition back to Georgetown for the third year! 🎉

🎵 30+ musical acts
