La Fête de la Musique, a celebratory day of music, returns to Alliance Française Vancouver on June 21 from 2 pm to 9 pm. The lineup includes more than a dozen artists playing free concerts all afternoon.
On the Theatre Stage, Alpha Yaya Diallo, Deo Munyakazi, Reza Abaee, and the Absinthe Ensemble will perform as part of Festival d’Été Francophone de Vancouver’s artists-in-residence program, presented in partnership with Le Centre Culturel Francophone de Vancouver. The same stage will also host indie-rock band Grade School and rap artist Missy D.
On the Atrium Stage, expect performances by the Cedar & Sage Dancers, groove-heavy ensemble Robin Layne & the Rhythm Makers, and El Salvador’s DJ Staniml. The outdoor Patio Stage will host singer Kaya Ko, DJ Lil Cis, funk duo Phantom Jungle, and a music competition called Les Étoiles, organized by École des Pionniers de Maillardville.
Attendance is free and on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more about La Fête de la Musique here.
