No animation in the streets in Bordeaux for the Fête de la Musique. - Clément Carpentier / 20 Minutes

The 38th edition of the Fête de la Musique will be held on the sly in Bordeaux. The town hall announced that because of the sanitary context, “any spontaneous musical demonstration on the public street Sunday is prohibited, as well as the gatherings of more than 10 people. No official concert will be organized outside. "

Certain private places (concert halls, bars, restaurants, etc.) may offer entertainment, exclusively indoors, under the responsibility of the operators and subject to strict compliance with health regulations. These events should not cause grouping or queuing outside the establishment and the music should not be amplified on the terraces.

The #FeteDeLaMusique is back 💃🏻 Did you think it wouldn't happen? Think again ! All those who wish are invited on June 21 to make their love for music resonate through a festive moment!
