Make Music Day is a live, free musical celebration on June 21, the longest day of the year, with concerts in unique venues, on streets, sidewalks, and parks across the city. 

Our festival is part of the larger Make Music Day, an international summer solstice music celebration occurring in 1,000+ cities across the globe. Wisconsin has more cities participating in Make Music Day than any other state in the United States. In 2023, a total of 34 performances were scheduled (with more to happen spontaneously) by 24 different artists or groups at 13 unique venues and we're excited to see larger numbers in 2024!
