Make Music Reedsburg is a live, free musical celebration on June 21, the longest day of the year, with concerts on streets, sidewalks, and parks across the city.
About
Make Music Reedsburg is now part of international Make Music Day, which brings free, community-wide, in and outdoor musical celebrations to hundreds of cities worldwide. Every year, the celebration is held on June 21, the summer solstice, in more than 800 communities around the globe.
Make Music Day started in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique. Reedsburg is honored to be one of only four cities in Wisconsin to participate.
Make Music Reedsburg is brought to you by an ad hoc group of volunteer music lovers looking to uncover, celebrate, and amplify the hidden and not so hidden talent among us.
Participate
All Instruments • All Genres • All Levels • All Ages • All FREE
Make Music Reedsburg is a celebration of music and everyone’s innate ability to make music, from amateurs to professionals.
On June 21st, we’re planning to fill Reedsburg with as much free and fun music as possible. From parks and parking lots to sidewalks, bank lobbies, and front porches. All the town’s a stage on Make Music Day.
We’re looking for Artists to perform and Venues to host and all kinds of stagehands.
