World Music Day is Calling: A Pub’s Guide to a Perfect Celebration

Turn it up, pour it out, and raise a glass – World Music Day is calling, and we’ve got just the pubs for it.

What is World Music Day?

World Music Day, also known as Fête de la Musique, is an international event that celebrates the beauty and diversity of music. It transcends boundaries, cultures, and genres, encouraging people from all corners of the world to embrace music and its profound impact on our lives.

When is World Music Day celebrated?

World Music Day is celebrated annually on June 21st. This date was chosen to coincide with the summer solstice, a day symbolising the perfect balance of light and darkness.

How can your pub get involved in celebrating?

Host a Music quiz

Hosting a music quiz in your pub on World Music Day is a great way to celebrate the occasion and engage with your customers. It offers a fun, interactive experience that can draw in music lovers and casual listeners alike, potentially boosting foot traffic and creating a lively atmosphere.

Get people on the karaoke

World Music Day is about celebrating music in all its forms. Karaoke provides a platform for your customers to actively engage with music by singing along to their favourite songs and create a sense of camaraderie among partakers and observers. The combination of drinks, good company, and music creates a fun and memorable experience.

Organise a DJ/live band event

If you’re looking to go beyond karaoke and solo artists, consider booking a DJ or a local band for a one-night-only celebration of World Music Day. Even a small live performance can create an electric atmosphere for patrons. Or make a weekend of it!

Host a Themed music night

For example, you could host a “Decades Night” where the music theme revolves around a specific decade (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc.). You could even have staff and patrons dress up in outfits from that era, creating a lively atmosphere. If this is something that you organise in your Trust Inns pub, make sure to take pictures, as these can make an appearance in our next incentive magazine, which, as a tenant, you receive every month. Take a look at our latest editions. 

Alternatively, create “Genre Nights” like a Rock night, Pop night, or even an Indie night, depending on your pub’s vibe and the crowd.
