Make Music Sun Prairie is joining the global celebration of music, Make Music Day. Originating in France as the Fête de la Musique in 1982, Make Music Day is held worldwide on June 21st every year. 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 in 2023.

Across Sun Prairie, there will be an array of musical activities, from student performances and educational drum circles to open mics and music-making crafts. Come out and hear the musical sounds of our city!

Unlike a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone who wants 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.

When? Friday, June 21st, 2026

Where? Performance areas will be located at parks and community spaces throughout Sun Prairie.
