Free outdoor, music-making block party planned as part of annual global celebration

Make Music Kenosha returns for its fourth year to unite the wonderful community of people, creatives, and musicians for an all-day, outdoor, musical celebration on Friday, June 21, 2024.

Make Music Kenosha is a part of Make Music Day a global music celebration that takes place on the summer solstice. The event brings people of all ages, interests, and skill levels together to make music for an entire day.

Make Music Day began in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique, and has spread to over 1,000 cities across 120 countries. Kenosha is one of 21 cities participating within Wisconsin. Completely different from a typical musical festival, Make Music Day concerts are performed by anyone who takes part and enjoyed by everyone who attends.

For the fourth year, Make Music Kenosha is excitedly continuing to hold the Block Party in beautiful downtown Kenosha, bringing together our diverse community.

The Block Party will consist of a series of stage performances by local artists Including “Malcolm Wright Music”. It will also feature a variety of activities for everyone to participate in such as the popular “Banging on Buckets with Paint with Hot mess Studios”. T Additionally, this year’s Block Party will feature a variety of food trucks, and a beer garden.

Outside the Block Party, businesses around the City such as 58 Below. will be hosting musicians and creatives throughout the day.

The Block Party will take place on 57th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue, and it will begin at 12:00 PM on Friday, June 21, 2024. Other event times may vary, so keep up to date by following Make Music Kenosha at https://www.facebook.com/MakeMusicKenosha.
