Make Music Day in Kansas City is part of a global event that aims to strengthen social and cultural ties, elevate the profile of our city, and support amateur and professional musicians and educators on the longest day of the year!
What is Make Music Kansas City?
Make Music Kansas City, part of the international Fête de la Musique, is a celebration of sound, occurring annually on June 21st. Make Music Day is free to attend and participate in, and is open to all ages, genres, styles, and abilities. During the daylong event, the metro comes alive with music. Performances take place on city sidewalks, in parks, coffee shops, museums, venues, and even on front porches.
Who can participate?
Anyone and any location! Performers and venues donate their time, talent, and space to celebrate all music, all musicians, all throughout the metro. A goal of Make Music Day is to place live music in unexpected places, so get creative!
How does it work?
Performers and venues create a profile via the online registration tool (opens April 21st). From there, musicians can request performances at venues and venues can request musicians to perform; it’s what we like to call matchmaking. Once a performance is accepted, it will automatically be added to the final schedule.
Who Benefits?
Kansas City Metro – Music is a universal language and has the compelling power to bring diverse groups of individuals together. Make Music Day is a time to come together as a city and celebrate the start of summer and the talented musicians and educators that live here.
Performers – Make Music Kansas City is dedicated to helping fuel the success of local musicians. We do this through promotions, connections and support year-round via our social media avenues. Make Music Day provides an outlet for musicians and introduces them to new audiences.
Venues – Whether it’s a city park, or you’re a local business or attraction hosting music, people are going to come and listen. We hope that having music at your business will draw in not only listeners, but new and more customers to your space.
