Make Music Big Bear

Come join us during our 6th year of live music in the Village of Big Bear Lake. The line up is local talent with a few special guest from off the mountain who wanted to join us. The venues are our local businesses, and the audience is everyone who is in town.

Make Music Day is a live, free musical celebration always on June 21, the longest day of the year – the Summer Solstice. Launched in France 1982 as Féte de la Musique, it is now held on the same day in more than 1,000 cities in 120 countries.

Growing, you bet! This event is getting huge, and the town is loving this. With over eighteen (18) business locations participating, sixteen (16) in the Village and two (2) in the Moonridge Corridor, hosting over 100 musicians/bands on Village Drive, Pine Knot Avenue, and Moonridge Road. Busking…. you mean street musicians, yes busking. Some of us like to just let it out no matter where we are. This is all for our community enjoyment and your listening ears, so come on into town, enjoy free music, and help us celebrate Make Music Big Bear!

We invite all musicians and singers of every kind to join us on making June 21 a huge musical celebration. Singers, church choirs, jazz combos, rock bands, glee clubs, mariachis, marching bands, and every other kind of musician, of any age group or skill level, are all welcome. How about a percussion or horn group rocking out while walking down the streets? Come make it happen. Contact us and we will make sure you get on the schedule.

Special Notes:

Find us at our Information Table (in front of the Christmas Tree Lot, close to Village Sports Bar) where we will have information on Make Music Day, along with flyers and schedules for this year, plus lanyards for all participants. Purchase Bandanas and Posters available for a donation. Also we will have cross promotions and fundraiser flyers and information for The Voice Studio of Diane Kubeja. You might even catch some of the performers hanging out here as well. Please stop on by, say “hi”, and have all your questions answered. Meet and talk to local artists, players, and singers. Once again, Jill Gatsby will have a dozen Tong Drums to play and fall in love with!

Again we are cross promoting proudly with The Big Bear Theatre Project, as music and acting are so closely related in the realm of Performing Arts. Please explore https://www.BigBearTheatreProject.org for upcoming shows and to learn more about the Big Bear Theatre Project.
