Make Music Day Worldwide Celebration is on the agenda in Macon, GA on June 21, 2021.  Make Music Day is free and opened to the public.  It is about inclusion not exclusion.  It’s all about love.  Join the fun and let the music play on!

Macon Make Music Day has partnered with Macon Arts Alliance and Weston Stroud for artist participation and U Create Macon first ever Bike Music Festival to help expand dynamic scenic performances of music and fun throughout the City of Macon on June 21. 

Musicians will pop-up to perform in downtown Macon, local eateries and parks in conjunction with Macon’s first ever live Bike Music Festival until 7:00 pm.   Also, bikers, tourists and local citizens will congregate to make music during the day with drum sticks and kazoos in the city streets.  Any musician regardless of age is welcome to perform.  And this year, BRAMBLE may be used to help generate tips on artist performances.  Send all inquiries to: makemusicdaymacon@gmail.com.

MACON EVENT LINE-UP – Macon Make Music Day will begin with an Artist Breakfast at Macon Terminal Station at 9:00 AM, pop-up lunch jams at eateries in downtown Macon at 12:00 noon culminating with a Make Music Day Patriotic Reception in remembrance of the late Congressman, John Robert Lewis from 5:00pm – 6:30 pm (Reception By Invitation Only). 

And due to COVID-19, Social Distancing will be in practice for your safety throughout the day at Make Music Day Macon International Celebration.  In addition, Make Music Day June 21 will be streamed live all day around the world. 

And again this year, express your BROTHERLY/SISTERLY love to help someone impacted by COVID-19 – “Be The Good, Give United Way” to help raise funds for COVID -19 at www.unitedwaycg.org.  United Way network is made up of nearly 1,800 autonomous 501c3 organizations. 

Make Music Day was introduced to singer/songwriter Gloria Stanley in 2017 by invitation from Georgia Music Industry Association (GMIA) out of Atlanta, GA.  Gloria incorporated Macon, GA (her hometown) in 2018 because this was her residency, and put Macon on Make Music Day map around the world. 

She is definitely musically inclined, a person of abundance faith and a philanthropist who cares about the well-being of people at home and abroad.

In 2018, Gloria received a $2,000 Community Challenge Grant from the Community Foundation of Central GA to grow Make Music Day Macon for 2019.  June 21, 2019, Macon celebrated “Macon Downtown Boogie” in the community park on the corner of Cherry and 3rd Street.   And she composed and debuted the first ever Make Music Day theme song titled “Shake, Shake, Shake It Up,” recorded at Joey Stuckey’s Shadow Sound Studio at 473 3rd Street, Macon.  

She is so grateful for the continuous endearing Partnership of Macon Arts Alliance, Visit Macon, United Way of Central GA, Community Foundation of Central GA, Macon Chamber of Commerce, The Knight Foundation, The Otis Redding Foundation, Bibb County School District, First Baptist Church, Center Hill Baptist Church and U Create Macon.
