So, the evening of my ninth anniversary there was a “fete de la musique” or music festival as we would call it. But, this party was all over downtown. From our house you could hear two bands playing at the same time. There were over twenty stages and over 120 bands that played that night. The party started at 6:30 and ended after midnight. We heard music of all kinds. There were style of music that I’ve never even heard of. We Heard, reggae,
Folk, rock, jazz, and we even watched a man play the washboard and someone with an accordion. It was a great evening but we weren’t prepared for the rain so we came home early. I heard stairway to heaven play while I was putting the kids to bed and then again an hour later by a different band. What a fun evening and whoever thought up a citywide party to celebrate music for free was a genius. It is actually country wide. Each town big or small plays music every evening on June 21st. Bands big or small take to the stage or just the street corner and play to their heart content. There is something for every music lover.
These are just pictures of the a nearby plaza. The rain kept us from taking too many more pictures.
