May 29, 2025 – Wisconsin has an impressive history of producing world-class musicians – Eau Claire's indie folk star Bon Iver, Milwaukee's R&B crooners Eric Benét and Tank and the classical duo Sista Strings, and Waukesha's guitar innovator Les Paul, to name a few. But you don’t have to be the next Liberace or Al Jarreau to join in on the music-making fun taking place all across the state on Make Music Day.
On Saturday June 21, twenty-seven cities and towns across Wisconsin – more communities than any other state – will join forces to present hundreds of free musical events on the summer solstice. It’s all part of Make Music Day, a global music celebration bringing people of all ages and skill levels together to experience the joy and camaraderie of making music.
Amery, Appleton, Ashland, Baraboo, Beloit, Cable, Cambridge, Cross Plains, DeForest, Dodgeville, Green Bay, Hayward, Kenosha, Land O' Lakes, Madeline Island, Madison, Marshfield, Middleton, Milwaukee, Monona, Oshkosh, Platteville, Shell Lake-Spooner, Stevens Point, Sun Prairie, Superior, and Verona are among the 150+ U.S. cities hosting thousands of Make Music Day performances nationwide, as part of the world’s largest annual music event.
