World Music Day is a music festival. It’s on June 21st every year.
In 1976, an American musician, Joel Cohen, suggested the idea of an all-night music celebration. He wanted the festival to happen on the longest day of the year. The idea was adopted(采纳)by French Music and Dance director （舞蹈总监）Maurice Fleuret in 1981 and first took place in 1982 in France. Then the idea quickly spread（展开） to over one hundred cities around the world. The idea behind World Music Day is to promote(推广)music. This happens in two different ways. People play their music and perform in the streets. The second way is to hold free concerts.
Many of us can not live without music. World Music Day is more than just a festival. It’s also a meeting place and a good time to put the music from each country together. The festival is popular with people in the world, and more and more people join in it.
