Ring in the summer with a global celebration of live music. On June 21, Cedar Rapids joins more than 1,000 cities worldwide for Make Music Day, a free, citywide day of performances in parks, on sidewalks, on porches, inside businesses, and throughout downtown and neighborhood districts. This is not a ticketed festival. There are no gates and no headliners at the center. Instead, it is a shared civic invitation: anyone can perform, and everyone can attend.

Use the Matchmaking Platform to:

• Find performers looking for a space to play
• Connect with venues ready to host live music
• Register your existing plans so they appear on the official map

Whether you are a seasoned musician, a student ensemble, a small business, a neighborhood association, or simply someone with a front porch and an idea, Make Music Cedar Rapids is an opportunity to make live music visible and accessible across the city, for one day, everywhere.
