The Museum of Making Music is a proud participant in Make Music Day, a free global celebration of music on June 21. 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. Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music Day is open to anyone who wants to take part.

All of it is free and open to the public.
