Make Music Day is June 21, 2026
All are welcome to celebrate Make Music Day on June 21st at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad from 10 am until 5 pm. What a special way to celebrate the first day of summer in 2026 with live performances and much more.
The Fête de la Musique originated in France in 1982 and is now celebrated on June 21 in more than 2000 cities in over 120 countries. The original vision of the founders was a day of music for everyone to enjoy, whether they made the music themselves or just listened, all over each city.
The dream has become a very visible reality and Make Music Day has spread throughout the world, arriving in New York around 16 years ago. On June 21, 2023 there were 4791 free concerts in 117 US cities (per Wikipedia). Who knows what music you’ll find in parks, on sidewalks, and other public spaces in your community. Or you can be creative and make your own!
Make Music Day is also known as World Music Day and Music Day. No doubt there are other names for this special day in other countries that celebrate it.
The festivities at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad on Make Music Day will include special guests, multiple live performances, and hands-on make-and-play crafts to make music throughout the day. If you have not visited the Museum of Making Music it’s a real treat to experience in person. I would plan on a good crowd on this special day at this unique Carlsbad museum for those who love music.
Here’s more information about the Make Music Day event at the Museum this year. It should be lots of fun for all ages!
Admission to the Make Music Day festivities at the Museum is FREE but you must RSVP online.

So how is YOUR community celebrating this world-wide day of music? Will you be participating, and, if so, how? You can attend an event, or simply make your own music if you are so inclined. Or simply find some music you enjoy to listen to.
