What is International Music Day?

International Music Day celebrates the power of music to unite people across cultures. Established in 1975 by the International Music Council, a UNESCO affiliate, the day promotes musical art in all sectors of society. It encourages people worldwide to share in five goals: to express themselves through music, to learn musical skills, to access musical involvement, to develop as artists, and to obtain fair recognition for their work.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
