How do we celebrate la Fête de la Musique in France?

Since 1982, the French celebrate both Music and the first Day of Summer on every 21st of June, allowing and encouraging all musicians and bands to play outside: in their neighborhoods, in public spaces, on the streets of every city, town or village... where spectators can enjoy and listen to live performances for free!
