June is National Accordion Awareness Month. National Accordion Awareness Month was established in 1989 to help spread the word about the resurgence in popularity in the accordion and to educate people about the accordion. AWW certainly educates and entertains the world about the accordion all year long!

National Accordion Awareness Month activities can include:

2. Take accordion lessons. Take lessons in person or online.

3. Support accordion players. Honor those who have put in the work, attend their concerts in person, or watch them play online. Purchase their music/albums from online platforms, etc. Share your discovery with the world and help spread awareness about the accordion.

Interesting fact: A renewed interest in grassroots regional musical styles, such as Zydeco, Cajun and Tejano, have resulted in the rediscovery and recent rise in popularity of the accordion in the U.S.

The June news includes videos, books and information on accordion happenings many of which are now live.

There are many special reports and videos on World Accordion Day (WAD) which was May 6, 2022. You can view concerts from around the world just by clicking on the links in the articles.
