The International Music Foundation presents:
MAKE MUSIC CHICAGO
Every June 21st, Make Music Chicago brings together Chicagoans to celebrate their ability to make music, regardless of age, ability or preferred musical style.
Unlike a typical music festival, Make Music Chicago is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician—young and old, amateur and professional—takes to the streets, parks, plazas and porches to share music of all genres with friends, neighbors, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public.
Based on the French Fête de la Musique, Make Music Chicago was first presented in 2011. Chicago joins 800 cities in 120 countries across the globe, making the Fête de la Musique the world’s largest single day music celebration. Make Music Chicago is a member of the Make Music Alliance, connecting Chicago with over 60 other U.S. cities in celebrating this day of music.
