Hilo, Kona celebrate International Make Music Day with live performances June 21

Make Music Hawaiʻi is hosting live performances in Hilo and Kona on June 21 in celebration of Make Music Day.

Make Music Hawaiʻi was established in 2020 as a chapter of Make Music Day, an international celebration of music that occurs every year on June 21 in more than 1,000 cities across the world. The organization invites every kind of musician to share their favorite types of music and songs with anyone they come across on that day.

Those who cannot make it to a live performance can celebrate Make Music Day by learning more about the history of music in Hawaiʻi, playing a new instrument and listening to new songs.

For venues interested in hosting musical performances, or musicians who would like to perform, the last day to register at hawaii.makemusicday.org is June 20 at 12:00 a.m. HST.
