Brunswick Arts Council joins the Make Music Day Brunswick County celebration with multiple music events and various venues through on Friday, June 21, 2024. Make Music Day is a one-day event where free, live musical performances, opportunities to make music and other musical events take place around the world on the longest day of the year. Musical festivities in Brunswick County are part of a global celebration of music making in over 1,000 cities inspired by France’s Fête de la Musique.
Currently over 10 free activities have been planned by local artists and organizations across the county… enjoy the sounds of Tina Smith Family & Friends while dining at El Coqui in Shallotte; groove to Danielle Walcott’s Jazz guitar stylings at Leland Cultural Arts Center & then bop to the Brunswick Big Band! Pick up a Kazoo at a local library ( southport, Shallotte, Oak Island,Calabash), bring your instruments and jam at Music Traders (Shallotte) or get your guitar strings tuned at Waterway Music Store (Southport). Bring a blanket to Oak Island’s outdoor concert featuring The Entertainers.
Brunswick Arts Council invites everyone from professional musicians to people who have never picked up an instrument to join in the global music celebration by attending any of the local events which can be found on our events listing page. (https://www.makemusicday.org/brunswickcounty/listings/)
“This is our first year participating in the Make Music Day celebration. We are looking forward to this year and continuing this annual event for many years to come. Music warms the heart and makes people smile,” said Mary Beth Livers, Executive Director Brunswick Arts Council.
Music has been shown to strengthen social connectivity, reduce stress, lower blood pressure, stimulate memory, and is integral to a well-rounded, enjoyable life. By participating in Make Music Day, Brunswick Arts Council and Brunswick County encourage every form of music making.
National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) members and partners from coast to coast, including Brunswick Arts Council, will join in their communities’ celebrations of Make Music Day. June 21 is the perfect day to check out a local music store for some gear or to come together and play – whether it’s for the first time or the thousandth.
