In celebration of the summer solstice and to showcase the musical talent in Beloit while uplifting the community, the third annual Make Music Day - Beloit will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025, as part of a free, citywide, and global event. 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 1,000 cities across 120 countries. Beloit is thrilled to participate in the music event 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.

Musicians of all styles, ages, and talent levels are invited to register to perform. Venues can also offer their spaces at no cost. Just register and we’ll take care of the musician-venue matchmaking.
