Make Music Day is a free celebration of music making, that takes place around the world each year on 21 June.

Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, it is now held on the same day in more than 750 cities in 120 countries. While it is completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music Day is open to anyone who wants to take part and is considered a DIY music festival!

Every kind of musician — irrespective of age, professional experience or musical persuasion, can organise their own gig, or alternately join one of the many organisations that will host events to share their music with friends, neighbours, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public.
