The annual free music festival Fête de la Musique, organised by French Institute of South Africa (IFAS) and launched in South Africa in 2010, is always one of the most popular live music events of the Joburg winter and a platform for emerging artists. Hosted under the slogan 'Free Music For All', it offers something for everyone with jazz, pop, classical, rock, soul, indie, and funk all on the programme.

The 2024 Fête de la Musique takes place on Sat, Jun 22 at Victoria Yards and promises to be an exciting event filled with family-friendly concerts. The festival embraces an array of musical genres, and this year, it introduces slam poetry, which not only enriches the diversity on display but also highlights the impressive growth of South Africa's slam poetry scene. This powerful form of self-expression has become a dynamic force that captivates audiences with its unique blend of spoken word, emotion, and social commentary.

Don't miss out on this fun day of world and live music!
