About

Make Music Somerville is an annual free, outdoor day of music held on the summer solstice, June 21. Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — is encouraged to participate by sharing their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public.

2018 is Make Music Somerville’s second year joining the worldwide Make Music Day celebration of live music. This year, more than 36 U.S. cities (four in NJ) will join 120 countries across the world.

Click on “Participate” to register as a musician, a venue, or both! The button below that says “Sign up!” takes you to the matchmaking software – where venues and artists set their own schedules (with approval from the Administrator). You can even register yourself and your front porch and create a self-match to put on your very own concert for your neighbors and passersby!
