Since 1982, every 21st of June, the crowds flow into the streets to enjoy free musical celebrations. La Fête de la Musique started in France and is now celebrated worldwide. In 2022, the French Institute in Scotland organises and hosts concerts on both the 21st and the 22nd of June for a full celebration of music!
These concerts are FREE and OPEN TO ALL.
