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. Inspired by France's "Fête de la Musique," Make Music San Antonio transforms the city into a musical landscape, fostering community engagement and showcasing the diverse musical talent of San Antonio.
This year, we are collaborating with the Musical Arts Center of San Antonio, Inc. (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
Special thanks to our community partners: Alamo Music Center, Dellview Music Foundation, Guitar Tex, Musical Arts Center of San Antonio, Urban-15, and Absolute Rentals.
