Welcome to Make Music Superior!

Make Music Day is a free, outdoor music festival celebrated worldwide. Held on June 21st, this all-inclusive festival features music of all genres. It is open to anyone who wishes to participate. This event began in Paris, France 0n the summer solstice of 1982. People of all ages and abilities were invited to step outside their doors and participate in music. This event was so successful that it continued to grow each year . It is now celebrated in countries all over the world.

With the help of the Make Music Alliance, Siggy’s Musical Garden Incorporated (501c3) is spearheading this celebration in Superior, WI! We invite all of you to dust off those instruments and get outdoors and play!

What is Matchmaking?

Matchmaking is our system of connecting musicians with venues. After creating an account, venues can browse musician profiles and vice versa and participants request a booking. A few tips:

Don’t be shy! Feel free to send requests. It helps to put yourself out there and you can book as many shows as you want.
Respond to requests in a timely manner. No one likes to wait to hear back. If it’s not a good fit, let the other party know so they can move on.
Follow up! You can send direct messages through the system or reach out via phone or email.

If you are a musician or would like to host a musician at your store front, porch, assisted living facility, etc…, use this link to apply!

Let’s put music on every city block!
