Make Music Portland 2026

Make Music Portland will return.

 

From 2013 to 2022 we celebrated the longest day of the year with a series of free interactive events and concerts by artists from Maine and away.

The mission of Make Music Portland is to showcase local music and bring free performances to the city on June 21. Make Music Portland will return in 2027. If you’re interested in taking part as a musician, venue, volunteer or sponsor, email us at holler@makemusicportland.org.
