Make Music Day Beloit

SUNDAY, JUNE 21, 2026

Free, City-Wide Summer Solstice Music Festival

In celebration of the summer solstice and to showcase the musical talent in Beloit while uplifting the community, Make Music Day will be held on Sunday, June 21, 2026, as part of a free, citywide, and global event. This June, Beloit will come alive with music in the streets, parks, offices, schools, and unique venues. Music will be performed by anyone and enjoyed by everyone.

First originating in France in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique, it has expanded to more than 2,000 cities in dozens of countries. Beloit is thrilled to participate in the music event for the third consecutive year as part of the lineup of cities across the world that offer performances. Wisconsin, once again, has more cities participating in Make Music Day than any other U.S. state. This will be the fourth year Visit Beloit has participated in Make Music Day.

Musicians of all styles, ages, and experience levels are invited to register to perform. Venues can also offer their spaces at no cost. Registration is open until May 29 and venue-musician matching ends on June 5. Please visit www.makemusicday.org/beloit or contact beloit@makemusicday.org with questions.

“Music has a unique way of bringing people together, and Make Music Day – Beloit captures that spirit perfectly. It reflects the creativity, energy, and pride of our community. Visit Beloit is proud to support an event that invites everyone to participate and celebrate through music,” says Savannah Schindler, Director of Communications with Visit Beloit. In 2025, a total of 42 performances were scheduled by 41 different artists or groups at 24 unique venues.
