It’s a Global Celebration, ‘Make Music Day’ Comes to Tyler For The First Time

It's an exciting time in Tyler, TX. In addition to the downtown revitalization and population growth happening in The Rose City, this Friday, we will participate in a global celebration of making music.

This Friday, June 21, The Tyler Music Friendly Advisory Board alongside Visit Tyler will join the international Make Music Day celebration.

"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, including Tyler. And it's all part of a global celebration of music-making happening in over 1,000 cities inspired by France’s Fête de la Musique.

“We are excited to introduce Make Music Day to the singers, musicians, and residents of Tyler! It is a beautiful opportunity to make our city sound as beautiful as it looks by filling our streets, parks, shops, and sidewalks with the joyful sounds of music. As an official Texas Music Friendly community, our participation in Make Music Day is an exciting opportunity to showcase the hundreds, even thousands, of talented singers and musicians that call Tyler home. Carleen Dark-Bays, Chair of the Tyler Music Friendly Advisory Board.

So, come out on Thursday and enjoy free live music around the city, and take a stroll downtown, several restaurants and bars across the city will be participating too.

Visit Tyler encourages the public to share their FREE music events on June 21 on their calendar https://www.visittyler.com/p/events.
