Make Music Day (2025)
Make Music Day (2025) in San Antonio is a vibrant and inclusive celebration of music held annually on June 21st, coinciding with the summer solstice. This free, city-wide event, coordinated by Texas Public Radio and the City of San Antonio's Department of Arts & Culture encourages musicians of all ages, skill levels, and genres to share their music in public spaces.

(MACSA), Guitar Tex, Alamo Music Center, AR, and Urban-15 to provide hands-on music education classes for musicians of all ages! The event is on Saturday, June 21st at TPR HQ downtown at 321 W Commerce St, San Antonio, TX 78205
