Make Music Day

A global celebration of music in 125 countries every 21 June

Make Music Day is a grassroots celebration where communities, musicians, venues and promoters collaborate to put on free music events in their local area. Started in France in 1982 as Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day now takes place in 125 countries on the summer solstice. On 21 June every year thousands of events take place across the globe in what becomes the world’s largest DIY music festival.

Registration for Make Music Day 2020 is now open! List your event or sign up as a musician or venue
