Where did the idea come from?

Make Music Day

Make Music began in France as Fête de la Musique, a national musical holiday inaugurated in 1982. Ever since, the festival has become an international phenomenon, celebrated on the same day in more than 120 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Italy, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom.

The name Make Music comes from the French Fête (or Faites) de la musique, which means both “festival of music” and “make music!”
