About
Celebrated on June 21, Make Music San José coincides with festivities in more than one thousand cities worldwide as part of Make Music Day. The day’s idea is to share the joy of making music with everyone who wants to take part, from professional to amateur musicians and the musically curious.
This website will feature performances throughout the city on Saturday, June 21st 2025. Events will be held throughout San Jose at community centers, parks, restaurants, museums, and more.
Being a part of Make Music San José locally and Make Music Day globally is an opportunity for us to come together in spirit and celebrate the music that brings us joy.
Participate
Registration is now closed
May 21 – Deadline to sign up.
June 1 – Deadline to confirm performance.
Join Us
Musicians, music lovers, spaces, and places are welcome to participate in the citywide event. Artists comprise students, amateurs, educators, music collectives, and professionals—all are welcome to participate in the celebration of music. Both artists and venues sign up via our online match-making app, where each creates a profile
Venue/Spaces profiles include contact information, how long they would like to host music, what kinds of music they are interested in booking, and what kind of equipment (chairs, electricity, water, etc.) they can provide, if any.
Artist profiles include contact information, sound bites, and the type(s) of music an artist or band performs. Venue and artist profiles can also include pictures, social media links, and website links.
Match-making
Once the profiles are created, venues may browse the list of artists, and vice versa, each requesting a time slot from the other for the performance.
Requests are accepted or declined at the discretion of the artist or venue. Before a performance is finalized, the venue must accept an artist’s request, or the artist must accept the venue’s request.
Once finalized, the performance is posted to our live, interactive map on our website, which the public can view and explore in the web app.
Other Details
All performances are free and open to the public. All venues support local artists by providing a platform to perform and by encouraging public participation and enjoyment by opening their doors to their communities. Make Music San José staff help finalize performance details, aid venues in securing permits, and market the festival in print, online, and social media channels.
Support
Make Music San Jose is facilitated by the City of San Jose Office of Cultural Affairs. The event is free and open to the public. Community partnerships and support make it possible!
We are proud to be a part of the national Make Music Alliance.
