Make Music Day Southbury 2026

Music will once again take center stage in Southbury on Sunday, June 21, 2026, as the community joins the global celebration of Make Music Day, a free, day-long, town-wide festival where musicians of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels transform public spaces into lively performance venues.

Organized by Heritage Village and the Southbury Arts & Culture Alliance (SACA), Make Music Day Southbury invites residents and visitors alike to enjoy and participate in this joyful celebration of creativity, community, and connection. The event is part of the international Make Music Day movement, celebrated in more than 1,000 cities across the globe.

This year's celebration will feature performances throughout Southbury at a variety of participating locations, including Heritage Village (multiple venues), The Press Box Theater, The Rathskeller Restaurant & Bar, Señor Panchos, The Tavern at the Heritage Hotel, and Vicinanza Studios & Gallery. Together, these venues will help transform Southbury into a community-wide stage, welcoming musicians and audiences throughout the day.

“This is about more than music. It’s about community, joy, and bringing people together through a shared experience,” said Kelly Keenan, President of SACA. “Make Music Day gives everyone a chance to experience Southbury's creative spirit. Whether you're performing, listening, or discovering a new venue, you're part of a global celebration that connects our community through music.”

As Make Music Day coincides with Father's Day this year, organizers encourage families to celebrate by spending the day together, enjoying live music, exploring local venues, and supporting the arts throughout Southbury.
