The document discusses two annual cultural events in Paris - La Nuit Blanche and La Fête de la Musique. La Nuit Blanche occurs every year where museums, cultural institutions, and public/private spaces stay open all night offering free art shows, exhibitions, videos, installations and performances. The goal is to make art accessible to all. La Fête de la Musique was created in 1976 and takes place every year on June 21st where amateur musicians perform music in the streets and public spaces, and concerts of various music genres are organized in parks, squares and venues to expose a wide audience to music.

1. Fiestas y Tradiciones en París
 La Nuit Blanche (Night in White) is an
annual artistic event that takes place
all night long in the French capital, as
in many other capitals of the world.
On that night, the opening to the
public of museums, cultural
institutions and other public and
private spaces is offered free of
charge, which is used for shows,
exhibitions, videos, installations or
artistic performances.
 Nuit Blanche has existed in Paris
since 2002, and different
contemporary artists show their art
in places that, in principle, are not
open to the public or whose original
function is not artistic (swimming
pools, metro, streets, parks ...) . The
goal is to make art accessible to all,
to put urban space at the service of
modern creation, to create a
moment of conviviality, to make Paris
a city of culture where citizens are
invited to participate.

2. In addition, the festivities
extend to the neighboring cities
of Paris (from Vincennes to
Nanterre) and the works and
performances are usually
concentrated in certain areas to
avoid causing the public to tire.
Además, las festividades se
extienden a las ciudades
limítrofes de París (de
Vincennes a Nanterre) y las
obras y performances suelen
concentrarse en ciertas zonas
para evitar hacer que el público
se canse.

3. La Nuit Blanche
Paris is filled with light and color in the longest night of
the year; It is a sight to see the streets, the monuments,
the bridges ... illuminated; It seems like we are in a magical
city.

4. La Fête de la
Musique
It was conceived by the
American musician Joel Cohen
in 1976, when he worked in
Radio France (France musique)
and proposed to make for this
chain the "Saturnales de la
musique" in the two solstices,
the summer and the winter
solstices, Music will play the
night of June 21.

5. La Fête de la Musique
 This musical event has the
vocation to promote music
in two ways. On the one
hand, encouraging amateur
musicians to play in the
streets and in public spaces,
with the homophone slogan
"Faites de la musique!" (It
sounds like "Fête de la
musique")

 On the other hand, bringing to a
wide audience music of all kinds
and origins (classical music, rock,
jazz, world music, traditional music
...)


6. parís
 In Paris, different concerts and amateur musical shows are organized in
the public spaces: streets, parks, squares, sports venues ... and also in
theaters where tickets are exceptionally free.

Numerous establishments are allowed to remain open longer that night to
welcome the public, and numerous streets are closed to circulation to give
way to improvised stages and spectators who wander from one show to
the other.
