About
What is Make Music Sun Prairie?
Make Music Sun Prairie is joining the global music celebration, Make Music Day. Originating in France as the Fête de la Musique in 1982, Make Music Day occurs on June 21st every year worldwide. Over 1,000 cities worldwide will gather to celebrate the joys of music through performances, activities, and parades. Sun Prairie is proud to join the summer solstice fun for our 4th year in 2025!
Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone wanting to participate. 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.
