Register for Make Music Day 2024 in Kansas City

Whether you’re a solo performer, a band, or a venue looking to host, it’s time to start preparing for Make Music Day in the metro.

Listen closely, and you might hear performers tuning their instruments all across the metro. That’s because Make Music Day, an international celebration of music between 1,000 cities globally, is back on Friday, June 21 — and for the last three years, it’s been our jam.

It takes two to bring 24 hours of music to the metro:

  1. Performers. In previous years, that’s meant everything from mobile performances from the Kansas City Symphony to workshops teaching you how to turn vegetables into musical instruments. If you’re making music, you’re a performer.
  2. Host venues. Volunteer your business, sidewalk, or front porch to host a musician. Just provide a description of the venue, and performers will match with you based on their needs.

Register now. Got a more out-there idea? Contact KCMO Parks’ Heidi Markle to discuss workshops + jams on KC Parks property.
