Fête de la Musique – Kalamazoo will be an exciting day of music, but we need your help to make this year’s event a success. Below are some of the ways you can be a part of the 2008 Kalamazoo Fête!

A free day of music inaugurating the beginning of summer, musicians from every type of genre (rock, jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, etc.) will share their love of music at various venues in downtown Kalamazoo. Venues include the Epic Center, Bell’s, Kalamazoo Public Library, Water Street Coffee Joint, and many more.
Musicians participating in Fête de la Musique are not paid, and all performances are free to the public. In addition, volunteers and businesses are donating their time and services to support this project. In the spirit of Fête de la Musique, June 21 is a celebration of music-making!
Volunteers – Without the support of volunteers, this year’s Kalamazoo Fête would not be possible! Currently, a committee of community members has been created to help organize and promote this year’s event; however, we still need your help!
Volunteer needs: Venue/Musician Liaisons, Refreshments Volunteers, Information Table Volunteers, and Event Photographers. If you would like to sign up to volunteer,

Community Donations – The Kalamazoo Fête is a completely free community event. Musicians and volunteers have generously donated their time and talents to this project, but there are still some items that we are seeking. If you or your company would like to donate or sponsor any items, please call Adam McFarlin, Kalamazoo Fête Coordinator at (269) 342-5059 or
