About
Montclair Make Music Day is a day of music for everyone. Since our first Montclair Make Music Day on June 21, 2014, we’ve held events at cafes, libraries, parks, retail stores, church lawns and more. Since 2017, Montclair Make Music Day has been a project of Indie Arts Montclair, a local arts and music non-profit. All events are free and everyone is invited to sign up to play, host events and enjoy!
Join us at our 14th Make Music event, on Sunday June 21, 2026. You will be joining thousands of others for this global music event happening in cities around the world!
Sign-up NOW to participate, host, or volunteer and join us in a day of music on the Summer Solstice!
Participate
Performers and venues are encouraged to sign up between March 1 and June 15th on our matchmaking website.
Once you are signed up, you are encouraged to match with a venue or performer. Make Music Day volunteers are also around to help you. Just email us at info@montclairmakesmusic.org
We will promote all the performances via social media and as many other ways as possible.
