Today, the streets of NOOGA will be filled with music... It’s all a part of Make Music Chattanooga and the international celebration Make Music Day. 🎵

The annual event encourages musicians and “non-musicians” alike to come together in harmony and fill the streets, alleyways, and rooftops of Chattanooga with music.

Sounds fun, right?

In addition to over 40 concerts, the day will be full of workshops, dance parties, jam sessions + an electric guitar parade, all of which are free to the public.

“My goal is that in the future Chattanoogans just know that on June 21st we celebrate the first day of summer sharing and teaching music for free,” Taryn Balwinski, Make Music Chattanooga organizer said. “Just like how people just give out candy on Halloween.”

Festivities begin today at 9 a.m. and conclude at 8 p.m. with the Summer Solstice Jam in Renaissance Park.

Venues for the day include the Tivoli Theatre, The Camp House, Wanderlinger Brewing Company, Creative Discovery Museum, Oddstory Brewing Company, Passageways 2.0, and other venues.

Local artists scheduled to perform include The No Good Deeds, Dream Collective, Emerald Butler, Somebody Loves Somebody, and Ryan Oyer.

🎵History of Make Music Day

Make Music Day was introduced in 1982 as the Fête de la Musique, and since then it has spread to over 120 countries and 1,000+ cities. Balwinski, founder of ConcertHopper, brought the event to the Scenic City in 2016 after enjoying the day in Asheville, North Carolina.
