Bangkok World Music Day ‘25 takes over One Bangkok and Alliance Francaise Bangkok on June 14 with free entry for all
Every summer solstice, France does something utterly un-French: it drops its cool, steps into the street and makes noise. Fête de la Musique – or World Music Day, if you prefer things literal – is an annual invitation to play, sing, stumble through a half-forgotten guitar riff and call it culture. It began in 1982, when someone at the French Ministry of Culture decided that the longest day of the year should sound like it too.
Since then, it has ballooned into a global phenomenon, travelling across time zones and borders, settling into over 120 countries with the quiet insistence of a chorus line. In Thailand, a place where volume is rarely an issue, the festival will hit Bangkok this June 14 with Bangkok World Music Day '25 – held at One Bangkok a world-class lifestyle destination in the heart of Bangkok' at the intersection of Rama IV Road and Wireless Road, where shopping, business – and now, apparently music and culture– collide. The fun also stretches to Alliance Française Bangkok
The festival goes across the venues, each tuned to a different frequency and offering something for every kind of listener.
Of course – it's entirely free. And for those in the mood to take home a souvenir, check out the flea market packed with quirky, fun finds.
