The amazing characteristic about the Fete is how it spread all over the world to more than 300 cities. Toronto, Sydney, Bogota, Berlin and Bucharest, among others, organize their own Fete de la Musique. Indonesia, Yemen and Laos include several of the countries that take part in the event.
San Francisco will join the movement this year with a spectacular day of music, cuisine and joie de vivre. A concert will take place on Saturday, June 21st at Justin Herman Plaza, near the Ferry Building. It will include various artists, such as Tete, Alain Brunet, Nous Non Plus, Scott Fisher, Eric John Kaiser, and Prince Lawsha. Free and open to the public, the concert will take place from 10 am to 8 pm. For the true Francophiles, a market will offer jewels, embroideries, food and drinks and many other French treasures.
