Make Music Philly Experience & Atmosphere

Make Music Day is a global celebration that takes place on the summer solstice each year and for the 5th time, the “city of brotherly love” will join over 700 other cites across 120 countries world-wide to celebrate. Philly is one of 23 cities in the U.S. that is participating this year.

The World Music Day concept began in 1982 with Fetes de la Musique in France. It then came to the US as National Music Day in 2006 and as it stands, more than 460 cities in 110 countries have participated worldwide.

The one-day event involves many individuals, organizations, businesses, neighborhoods; making it a cross-cultural event!
