Make Music Day Buffalo 2019

Make Music Buffalo will return for its fourth year with a wild and wonderful mix of over a dozen free outdoor musical events on Friday, June 21. Make Music Buffalo is part of Make Music Day, a global music celebration that takes place on the summer solstice each year and brings people of all ages and skill levels together to make music.

Make Music Day began in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique, and has spread to over 1,000 cities across 120 countries. Completely different from a typical musical festival, Make Music concerts are performed by anyone who wants to take part and enjoyed by everyone who wants to attend. From classical to folk, hip hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock, live music of all kinds resounds on streets, sidewalks, porches, plazas, parks, gardens, store fronts and other public spaces on the longest day of the year.

Niagara Falls, the Peace Bridge, Electric Tower, and Innovation Center on Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus will all be lit orange in honor of Make Music Day.

Following is a listing of free music in the Buffalo area happening on June 21, Make Music Day. As more is added, go to www.makemusicday.org/western-ny and www.facebook.com/MakeMusicBuffalo for the complete and up-to-date list.
