Make Music Day is a global music celebration held annually on the summer solstice in more than 2,000 cities across dozens of countries — and it’s happening in College Station on Saturday, June 21.
The all-day, all-ages music festival is 100% free and 100% fun. Whether you’re discovering new local talent or grooving to your favorite tunes, Make Music Day invites you to join the beat for music made by everyone and enjoyed by everyone.
The city-wide event features live performances by local artists at some of our favorite places, including the Dixie Chicken, the Hilton’s rooftop bar, and many more. Discover pop-ups, surprise sets, and free shows across our community.
Make Music Day was launched in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique (Festival of Music). Unlike a typical music festival, the event is open to anyone who wants to participate. Every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — pours onto streets, parks, plazas, and porches to share their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers.
As an official Music Friendly Texas Community recognized by the Texas Music Office, College Station is eager to spotlight our incredible local artists and celebrate the power of live music to bring people together.
Let’s make College Station sing on June 21!
