Make Music St. Louis - June 21
a project of the Missouri Alliance for Arts Education, in collaboration with the
Make Music Alliance and St. Louis area partners, with funding support from the Regional Arts Commission.
Make Music Day is an annual celebration of music that takes place on the summer solstice. On Make Music Day everyone is invited to take part: performing music for others, listening to music, joining in playing music and/or hosting musical performances.
Beginning in France (1982) as the Fête de la Musique, this free music festival is now held on June 21 in more than 800 cities in 120 countries around the world. Some cities have begun the tradition of sponsoring a parallel event on December 21. Learn more at the Make Music Day U.S. heqdquarters site.
