June 21st is recognized by France as World Music Day, or Fête de la Musique. Now in its 43rd year, the festival continues to resonate across more than 1,000 cities around the world, where people gather to celebrate their shared love for music.

In 2025, the Embassy of France in India, the French Institute in India, the Alliance Française network, and boxout.fm build upon their ongoing collaboration to celebrate Fête de la Musique with a renewed focus on accessibility and cultural exchange. This year’s edition features an updated online hub - a space where partner venues and organizations across the French cultural network in India can share events, programming, and festival-related updates. The platform hosts community radio broadcasts, curated playlists, and a centralized listing of all performances and activities.

Offline, Fête de la Musique 2025 will take place across multiple Indian cities between June 15th and 26th, featuring live performances, DJ sets, film screenings, and more - bringing the spirit of the global festival to local streets and venues across the country.
