All featured festival venues will be ADA accessible.
MAKE MUSIC DAY HISTORY
43 years ago in France, Jack Lang and the French Ministry of Culture imagined a new kind of musical holiday: Free music everywhere—in streets, parks, gardens, on rooftops, at storefronts—open to anyone wanting to play or host. NamedFête de la Musique,(“festival of music” and “make music,”) the festival took place on Summer Solstice, June 21st. It became a national tradition that now spans the globe with 2,000+ cities and towns worldwide.
18 years ago MAKE MUSIC DAY New York picked up the baton. From these grassroots, Make Music Day has blossomed into a nationwide movement across the U.S.
MAKE MUSIC DAY first came to PORT TOWNSEND in 2016 and expanded to East Jefferson County in 2017 and 2018 with more than 800 participants and 27 venues county-wide. After a “pandemic pause” Make Music Day returns to East Jefferson County!
On the day of event, the Port Townsend Cotton Building is Festival Headquarters. Events will be happening concurrently in Port Townsend, Quilcene, Port Hadlock, Chimacum and Port Ludlow.
