MAKE MUSIC DAY
AADL is leading the city's efforts for Make Music Day again this year, but in 2025 we're making things a little bigger. We're trying to get homes, businesses, and spaces all over the city to host concerts on their porches, front yards, and storefronts and contribute to a citywide day of live, free music.
It's all taking place Saturday, June 21 and there are two big ways to be part of this.
1) Offer up your home or place of business as a venue. If you know what band will play—great! Book em! If not, AADL can help match bands for your venue.
2) If you're a band or musician who would like to play but don't have a venue lined up, you can sign up and AADL will try and match you with a venue for Make Music Day.
