The General Consulate of France invites you to come and enjoy a free celebration of music at Make Music Houston (MMH) on Sunday, June 21st, the first day of summer at West Alabama IceHouse (1919 W Alabama St, Houston) starting at 2 pm.

 

This event called initially “Fete de la Musique” was created by the French Ministry of Culture 25 years ago. It is a unique festival of free concerts in public spaces. Given its great success, this gathering of professionals and amateur musicians has spread to more than 327 cities around the world.

In the United-States, Miami and New-York have launched their annual celebration several years ago.
