Get ready to kick off summer with music, energy, and community spirit during World Music Day 2025 in Downtown West Chester! Just under 10 minutes from Goshen Terrace Apartments, this global celebration takes place on Saturday, June 21st, from 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM, and promises a vibrant experience filled with live performances throughout town.
World Music Day—also known as Fête de la Musique—started in Paris in the 1980s and now spans more than 1,000 cities worldwide. The goal is simple: to unite people through the universal language of music. This free, all-ages event transforms the streets of West Chester into one big stage, where local musicians perform on sidewalks, plazas, and near popular storefronts.
Enjoy music while exploring your favorite local spots, including Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center, Chester County Historic Courthouse, Side Bar & Restaurant, Mayday Coffee, Santino’s Tap & Table, and D’Ascenzo’s Gelato. From solo acoustic sets to full bands, every corner of town will come alive with sound.
Whether you’re discovering a new artist or simply soaking in the summer evening atmosphere, this event is the perfect way to enjoy West Chester’s charm.
