Extra! Extra! Extra! Tonight, the de Young Museum and Alliance Franςais are hosting one of a series of Friday Night Soirées, in partnership with the French American Cultural Society — and it’s FREE! Tonight’s installment is entitled “Fête de la Musique,” and features music performances by International School of the Peninsula Children’s Choir and troubadour Eric John Kaiser. Plus, there will be a strolling accordion player — how cool is that! Highly, highly recommend this one, kiddies! Festivities begin at 5:00 p.m. and go until 8:45 p.m.

Oh, and did I mention that you’ll get to participate in hands-on art projects? Seriously. Don’t walk — run to this event!
