On Wednesday, June 21, 2023, in more than 120 countries around the world, musicians young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — will pour onto streets, parks, plazas, and porches to share their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers.  

San José is taking part – wanna join?  

Launched in 1982 in France, Make Music has become an international event and the City of San Josè has been proud to lead the local edition of Make Music since 2017.  

Make Music San José is open to anyone who wants to take part. People get together in their neighborhoods and create musical events in a do-it-yourself fashion. Venues can be anywhere, and performers can be anyone. No cost to register or attend. All events are free and open to the public. 

Performances have taken place at community centers, parks and libraries. This year there will also be music at hub spots including the Mexican Heritage Plaza, Eastridge mall and Downtown San José 

With free events and performances across the city from sunrise to sunset, Make Music San José has something for everyone.
