What is Make Music Day?
Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, Make Music is celebrated on the same day in more than 1,000 cities in dozens of countries around the world.
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.
Dane County communities involved in Make Music Day include Cambridge, DeForest, Madison, Middleton, Monona, Sun Prairie and Waunakee. This is likely the largest number of communities involved in any county in the country. And Wisconsin has the most Make Music communities of any state in the country!
