World Accordion Day (WAD) Festival at A World of Accordions Museum - USAby Christine Johnstone |
![]() |
![]() The first WAD was held on 6th May 2009, marking the 180th birthday of the accordion - 6 May 1829, the date the accordion patent was filed. WAD is organised by the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) and has been very successful, generating a lot of positive publicity for the accordion. Every accordionist is asked to actively support this event by encouraging national and local accordion activities to happen in their country on 6th May or the weekend either side of WAD if that should be more convenient.
