Local musicians and venues have come together to bring Make Music Day, a global pop-up music event that allows amateur and professional musicians to bring music to the streets of cities worldwide, to Palm Beach County June 21.

Launched in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day is celebrated by millions of people in more than 2,000 cities around the world, including 154 cities in the United States since debuting in New York in 2007.

Make Music Palm Beach County is a result of a coalition between Masterworks Chorus of the Palm Beaches, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, and several venues that celebrate music. Music lovers can come perform, participate, or enjoy free performances to be staged all day throughout the county June 21.
