on the first day of summer and make music day –

when music and summer are one.

 Make Music Day is a free celebration of music around the world on June 21st. Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, it is now held on the same day in more than 1,000 cities in 120 countries. Make Music returns to Ann Arbor for another wonderful day of music in 2025.

Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — pours onto streets, parks, plazas, and porches to share their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public.

  9. That sounds like a great music festival, Beth. We have “Mile of Music” here at the beginning of every August, where indie musicians from around the country or out of the country can perform and we can enjoy for free. It’s four days of music that I look forward to every year.

  17. Ya know what? I keep forgetting to say this to you, dear Beth. Thank you for all the things I learn from you. I had no idea. “Make Music Day”? Now THAT’s something to celebrate! And the quote from William Carlos Williams? Too perfect! 💕
