Join us to celebrate International Make Music Day in Downtown Randolph! This highly anticipated free festival centered on music-making takes place each year on the Summer Solstice, the first day of summer, in more than 120 countries and 2,000 cities worldwide. The Randolph community has been a proud participant since 2020, and the event is quickly becoming a beloved community tradition.
This year’s celebration in Randolph will feature live music for at least 14 hours, from 9 am to 11 pm. In addition to bands and solo artists at venues all around the town, including local restaurants and shops, there will be family-friendly activities and music at the Trillium lot on Pleasant Street, encouraging anyone and everyone to make music and be an active part of Make Music Day.
The celebration will culminate with a headline performance by the Villalobos Brothers at the Chandler Music Hall followed by a live dance party with DJ Denisova in the upper gallery at Chandler. Look for more artist announcements to come as the event approaches.
