The Badger State has long stood out for its large, passionate Make Music Day celebrations. Six Wisconsin cities, from populous Milwaukee to minuscule Land O’ Lakes, took part last year on June 21.
In 2020, Arts Wisconsin and its partners (the League of Wisconsin Municipalities, Wisconsin Public Radio, and Wisconsin School Music Association) have raised the state’s Make Music Day to an unprecedented scale. Fifteen communities, including most of the major cities, are now organizing for Make Music Wisconsin, with still more coming on board for 2021.
